im currently running a 16MB 3DFX video card (go ahead and laugh,i have my reasons) i recently got an EVGA Geforce 7900gt co sc 256MB PCI-e card. i would love to use it,its about 2 months old and i got it for free, and ive seen it working. the reason i cant use it is because my mobo (gigabyte ga-7vrx) only has 1x AGP 4x/2x 2.0 compliant and 5x PCI 2.2 compliant slots. what graphics cards can i use for under 75 bucks,and should i go AGP or PCI (imcurrently using agp formy 3dfx)

how about just upgrading the mobo? most agp or pci cards at $75 wouldnt be close to the performance of that 7900gt

But you should start saving and make a full upgrade when you have the money.
