I got a computer that is a 3 GHz p4 that has an AGP slot and uses 800 MHZ DDR (I think). It is from the compaq business desktops, and seems good enough for a gaming platform (after more ram and a good video card)
What do you guys recommend for a good video card that is AGP and under 200. Its replacing my XP1800+ system. The second question is my router. I have a Buffalo WHR-HP-G54 router. On some computers configured correctly, it has problems assigning a IP address through DHCP. I was wondering if anyone had had issues with this and was thinking of installing DD-WRT on it. Does anyone know something that may be wrong with it? I know its not password/encryption. -------------------- Southern Rock, beer and bears!

Yeah those extra long cards can run into the HD space in a lot of cases. If you have somewhere else you can put the HD I'd imagine it'd be fine. You could also put the HD into an empty 5.25" bay if you get an adapter.

The main thing to look for is that it isn't going to cover anything important on the board like Hard drive ports, etc. ... just look at your board and look directly behind your agp slot. -------------------- |
