AGP card for CS:S in a Ideq 200n

ScoobyDoo · 9 Sep 2006 at 17:33

Ive got a Ideq 200n system running a xp2200, 1gb ram which i used to use as a media centre PC.
Ive now replaced my media centre PC and ive got this spare which im currently using to play CS:S source on. The system only has a FX5200 graphics card, and so i can only play CS:S on the very lowest settings on my TFT.

Would graphics card would you recommend I could fit inside to enable me to play CS:S at native 17inch TFT resolutions?.
I was thinking of a 2nd hand 6600gt if it would fit... any other options?.

I've got a 200N and have fitted a ATI 1600 pro. Card fitted in no problem and seems to run most of the stuff i throw at it quite well.

9800XT's are available for about £35 these days and they fit fine. Most cards fit OK, but I've laways had to take out the HDD/Optical drive cage to get the longer ones postioned right.

Cheers, just sorted out a 9800XT, should give me a boast from my fx5200
