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.

I ended up buying the one Impalia suggested tonight because of the size of my case. I need to get a HDTV (much less A TV) before I go HDMI.
