another \"is this video card good enough\"
AOpen 90.05210.418 Geforce MX4000 128MB 128-bit DDR AGP 4X/8X Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814135168 I'm planning to use the DVI for a 2001FP, and connect my old monitor up to the d-sub. I don't do any heavy gaming, so my needs are pretty simple. $29 just seems cheap so I wanted to see if there's some glaring flaw I'm missing.

Re: another \"is this video card good enough\"
Other than needing to buy a DVI cable I don't see a real problem with this. Though something tells me running a $500 monitor with a $30 vid card is simply wrong. In terms of processing graphics the card is a P.O.S., but it's not as though poker tables are very graphics intensive. That being said I'd still spend a little more dime on a decent card, say ~$100? Check out the GeForce FX5200 or GeForce FX5500.

I would get http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814140056 instead for $8 extra.

Lol, that's heresey. Might as well put a V4 in your Lamborgini.
And the Troll is right, it comes with a DVI cable, which from Dell suprises me. Good eye Troll.

Thank you all for the feedback! I just need poker and office functionality, so looks like the cheaper one will be adequate. Thanks! [/ QUOTE ] Wow, you are very cheap!

Re: another \"is this video card good enough\"
I just bought a Dell 2005FPW (wide screen flat panel) and hooked it up to my old computer
(which is 3 years old - but it was the best you could buy at the time). Is my graphics card adequate? I have a 128 MB "NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4600"... I can't get the max resolution of my monitor with this setup...Is the card the problem or do I need to download any updates, new video drivers, etc.? To Rehash: The monitor is brand new - latest and greatest, but the Dell computer I have is an 8200 purchased in Aug. of 2002... And I did get the DVI and the blue connector to connect to my computer - which one is better to use?
