New graphics card

[Robert]

What's a good graphics card these days? How much ram is needed?

 

It must fit into AGP slot.

 

I'm in Australia, so your el-cheapo computer store won't exist here.

 

Must have drivers suitable for win95

Mine is a Club3D. Dunno about the price though.

Mines an actual ATi Card, not a 3rd Party.

 

Their cheap now though.

[Weirdy]

btw ppl, he said that it has to be compatible with windows 95

I think ati 9700 is better, not only its affordable, but it's a very good card. It almost match up to 9800, but if you can find a good deal with 9800, then get that I guess.

[Wizard]

9700s went out of production now I think. 9800 Pro is on it's last few runs before ATi removes it from production also.

Many manufacturers stopped Win 95 support a while back. If you look on their websites for drivers the oldest Windows is 98...you'll have to check if the Forceware (Nvidia) and Catalyst (ATI) still have 95 support.

You said you need it to be compatible with win95. I remember you said elsewhere you had an old computer, I guess that's why it has to be compatible. (wasn't it around 300 MHz?) For the price of a 9800, you could get a motherboard with integrated graphics, some ram and a cheap processor.

 

Well, that's where I would start. A 9800 with a 300 MHz processor would be really overkill.

 

If you want to keep your comp or don't have enough money for what's above, you could go for a 9200 (around $50). But I don't know if they still produce drivers for Win95...
