New Video Card for Compaq Presario Model 7110US

[dreamspinner3]

I am looking for recommendations for a new video card that will work with an older PC, a Compaq Presario model 7110US. The current video card is a 64MB SDR nVIDIA GeForce2 MX with TV-Out & I would like to replace it with something that has a little more power. I'd like to be able to play the Sims 2.

I emailed Compaq/HP support & asked them what current video cards would work with the motherboard in my PC was sent an unhelpful reply.

Do you all have any suggestions?

Thanks.

AGP or PCI?

I'm sorry, it has an AGP slot. A 4x/8x card should work if I understand right because it will go down & run at the 4x level...correct?

Correct. Can you post the system specs so we don't have to look them up on HP's site?

What is your budget? This one will do pretty well in your system for about $130.

Just get yourself a 128MB 6600 and save some money. You won't get much benefit out of a 256MB version.
