Depends on the money you can spend and your available bus. If you don't have a 4X/2X AGP slot that can take a 3/4 length card, you'll be out of the GeForce4 range. I upgraded to a GeForce4 Ti 4600. I pushes more pixels than Clinton's got "girlfriends."

With the old GeForce2, as long as I had the video "dumbed" down I could play... But the difference is A LOT, and it's more than just the speed. It's the capablilities of the processor.

If your AGP slot isn't up to snuff, you'll either have to gut and replace most of your computer's insides or go PCI bus. Considering your MB & processor, I'd just gut the bugger if you have the money to sink a couple of grand into a "game god" 'puter.

What's your budget? And if'n I had to be a guessing, I'd be guessing you'r'n the GeForce3 budget range. [img]smile.gif[/img]
