New Videocard - need help.

[{I}{K}{E}]

I want a new videocard, i don't need the best card available because i'm going to buy a new pc in Januari 2007.

Price: 125 euro's max.

Current specs:
Jetway V266B (AGP 4x)
AMD Athlon XP 2000+ (1.67GHz)
512 MB ram
Creative Live! 5.1
GeForce4 MX 4000



I have no idea which one i should buy,
I think that the Sapphire Radeon 9600 XT 128MB would be good, but me is a hardware noob

AGP 4x will be a big limiting factor.

Why do you want to upgrade? Can't the one you have serve until the new PC?

Because the fps i have on the latest Counterstrike: Source maps is below 30

I know the jetway supports SDRAM and DDR. Is your current RAM DDR type? If not, that could be another bottleneck.

IKE you should just save up and get a whole new system.

ditto.

you can probably find an nvidia fx card that supports regular pci.

Why? Regular PCI is even slower than AGP 4X.

ok.. well then i guess that this 6600gt must support agp 4x, it says agp 4x/8x..?

and also last time i checked the euro was worth more than usd, so i think he may be able to afford this...

Yeah but running at 4X doesn't let it work at full performance.

i don't know.. how can i check this?


so it's possible that a new videocard won't improve my fps much?
