I'm thinking about buying a new graphics card so I can play counterstrike
and quake 3 on my PC.

The current set up is

1ghz celeron
376mb RAM
100mhz system bus
on board graphics

I've been looking at a GeForce 4 MX440SE 64MB but i'm not sure if this is a
bit too good for my system.

Can anyone receommend a suitable card or a decent website that gives hints
and tips?

Thanks

Matt

What motherboard/chipset do you have. Is it a 2x/4x/or 8x
AGP board. It really won't benefit you to buy a card that
will exceed your system specs, but most of them are
backwards compatible (most 8x cards can be used in a 4x
system - although they will be limited to 4x transfers.)

I recently purchased an FX5200 chipset card with 128MB for
$99 - and it works great. No, it isn't a 5900 or an
ATI9800, but it also wasn't $300-$400 either.
