Advice, please. Can't afford a new MoBo, (I wish). I have an ASUS P4P800, P4 3.4 cpu, 4Gb memory, 500W psu... The old ATI 9800 PRO, AGP 8x burned and crashed. I use it mostly for Photoshop and some video editing. I would prefer not to use nVidia as Linux is in the future for this mach. Suggestions and recommendations for a video card that will extend the life of my beloved PC? Thanks...
Truly I would get another 9800 PRO from ebay. I have one of those cards and I love it. What exactly went wrong with it? Mine had broken too but I got it fixed by a friends dad. Maybe I could help you fix it. What does it do now if you use it?
Thanks for your advice...my 9800 pro did overheat, even though I had a cooler. It's hard to mistake the smell of burning electronic parts, and the monitor suddenly going black. I'll look around for another 9800 pro.
Here's a good one. http://cgi.ebay.com/256MB-ATI-Radeo...oryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem This is cheaper since it's the 128MB version (same one I have) http://cgi.ebay.com/ATI-RADEON-9800...oryZ3762QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem Did you overclock your last card? What made it overheat?
