Smile Need a recommendation


Hello folks,

I would like to upgrade my systems graphiccard, because I'd like to play some ego shooter games, like nexuiz, or amercians army. My system has no PCI Express Slot, so which nvidia graphiccard can you recommend?
A passiv cooled graphiccard would be excelent!

CPU: AMD Athlon XP +2400
RAM: 512 MB DDR RAM
GC: Nvidia Geforce 2 MX400

Thanks in advance

I did a lot research before I picked the 6600 card. It's a good performer for it's price range, and the AGP card benchmarked slightly better than the PCIExpress version. Go figure.
