Where to Find Graphics Cards

Our experience shows that a GeForce 4 card will work. Since most of the webmasters for the SimsHosted sites are using the GE Force FX 5200 cards, we went shopping for some sources for that specific card.

If you follow the links in the list below you'll find additional links to similar items, so shop around and see what you can find that fits your machine. The choice between an "AGP" versus "PCI" card depends on what slots are available in your computer's mother board.

Asylum
Asylum GE Force FX 5200 $99.99
Sold via Chumbo
House of Computers
nVIDIA GeForce fx 5200 128 PCI $89.00
Wally World
PNY GeForce FX5200 AGP Card $99.88
PNY GeForce FX5200 PCI Card $119.98
CompUSA
GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, AGP, 128MB DDR $99.99
Asylum GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, AGP, 128MB DDR $99.99
ASUS

ASUS makes 5200 graphics cards, but we haven't yet found a place to buy their stuff. Here are some links to their product descriptions anyhow:

ASUS V9520 Magic/T (NVIDIA® GeForce FX 5200)
Also see the whole ASUS graphics card line

Amazon.com
Searching http://www.amazon.com/ for "geforce fx 5200" produces some results in the $80 to $110 range.


Installing Your New Graphics Card

Installing a new graphics card isn't too scary; it's mostly a matter of opening the box, unplugging the old card, plugging in the new one, and installing the drivers for the new card. You'll probably want to remove the drivers for your old graphics card, too.

An even easier way is to haul your CPU box down to CompUSA and get their techs to install it for you. :)

Obviously we can't hope to provide technical support from our little web site here, but if you have questions about all this, ask them at the Hullabaloo. There's a good chance that someone there will have answers.
