thinking of upgrading my graphics card

[sgtsam150892]

My graphics card now is a nividia 6200LE with 256mb of memory.
Ime thinking of buying a nividia 7600 card.
Its my first time buying and have no clue where to get them. Ive looked on google but cannot seem to find out where to buy them. All i get is reviews.
Also shell i go with PCI or with AGP?

Re: thinking of upgrading my graphics card

If you have a 6200 i would imagine your card is AGP, have a look at the slot it sits in to be sure. 7600 is a very good choice and a solid performer, try and aim for a GS or GT version if you can.

Re: thinking of upgrading my graphics card

so if the card slot is AGP then i have to go for an AGP card. Correct?
Also i am most definatly going for a gt one. ill have to save my pennies compared i got to buy flight sim X but lets see what i have from my christmas money.

My little brother just got a 7600, and he is running graphics twice as high as he was running on his old 6600, looks much better, for cheapest prices, I believe he got his off of http://www.newegg.com theyre usually the cheapest

Well, it all depends on what slot your motherboard has. If its a pre-biult computer can you tell us the make and model please.

I was purely speculating when i said AGP, 6200 were made in both AGP and PCIE and even onboard so it could be any one of the three.
