Hi

Just bought a wide screen TFT and knew it was a bit of a gamble as I wasn't sure the on board graphics of my motherboard could cope with widescreen! Well it does, just, but only at 1280 x 768!

So i'm gonna buy a graphics card but have no idea which one! I have an AGPx8 slot on my Gigabyte motherboard. I don't play games particularly, just standard apps, so no point spending to much, about £20 to £30.

Any recommendations welcome!!

Cheers
Connor

What card do you have now? An X300 will probably do the job, i would reccomend paying more to be vista ready though.

Just using the on board chip set via/S3G UniChrome, with a massive 32MB memory.....anything will be better!
