Any of the 128MB cards should be good, specially ATI's Radeon.
The Geforce FX should be fine too, the only concern I have is the power supply in the machine might not be able to handle ti.

Good luck, and be careful

ATi are definitely the bees knees at the moment. Do a Google for the card name and see if you can find some comparison. They are usually a pretty good way to measure which is the best deal/best performance.

nVidia are also a good bet at the moment...:smileywink:

Brian is this for the PCV-RX402 computer? If it is quite recent then it may be OK, when I did an upgrade on mine I discovered that if there is insufficent power, some vital parts of the system will not initialise, such as the hard disk (!) caused by the new video card.

If this is the case then a 400Watt power supply or higher with ATX power cables should fit but its hard to say for sure... Insufficient power can be dangerous so be very careful mate!

The problem is James they're non-standard
