Hello guys I joined because my G4TI4200-8X 64MB has recently went compute. And I cann't seem to find it in any sort or a place in america that sells it. So what do I do. What would be my next graphics card which would equal to the one I use ot have or be slightly better.
I only ask I have limited funds.

There are only 30some AGP cards on Newegg. Here's the second cheapest: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814187045

I think it's a lot more powerful then your old one, though. I have no idea TBH, I've only been building for a year.

That won't work. You need a card with a AGP connection. Pretty much all cards nowadays use the PCIe connection.

Like, the slot that your motherboard has is the old type of slot called AGP. So only old graphic cards will fit. New one's won't unless you get a new motherboard with the new type of slot, called PCI-Express (PCIe).

Not even close. Nor is the FX5200 suggested by Knufire. Even the 6200 suggested by ScottinIndy might be a bit of a downgrade.

Honestly, if you're working with limited funds and were happy with your old card, the best option may be to just get another similar one off eBay... the Geforce4 series are dirt cheap on the used market. Here's a Ti4200 64MB for $15 shipped, or you could go a couple steps up to a Ti4600 128MB for $20 shipped. That beats any of the prices on Newegg.
