Recently i purchsed an ATI Radeon 9250 Sapphire video card, 128 mb.
this is the card i bought specifically...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=40158&item=5191076218&rd=1
thinking it would work on my computer, i didnt really pay MUCH attention to the specs of the card, i guess my motherboard is not AGP compliant.
so now that i have the video card, i dont know what to do. my brother said my video card might be built into my motherboard, and i'd have to buy a new motherboard? could that be the case? for some reason i'm doubting that.
anyways, the reason i wanted a new video card is for gaming (my current card is only 8mb)
here are some computer specs. post if you can recommend a video card for me.
