Need help with video card selection - not sure what I can actually plug into this thing :(?

Hey there! So I have this aging IBM ThinkCentre that I have been using - it's not much of a system but it does what I need it to and I am not looking to replace it anytime soon.



I play Eve Online (http://www.eveonline.com) and right now due to hardware failure i'm stuck on a very old Nvidia geforce 6200. It's quite playable, but I really would prefer a better frame rate.



Anyway, here's my problem: due to the different types of AGP ports and the types of cards that will actually work/not-work with particular AGP ports, i'm totally at a loss as to what kind of video card to ask for as a gift this year - as i'm not sure this board will actually be able to use it. Just got this system not too long ago after my primary PC decided to die, and my AGP 7600GT does not work on this board - hence having to fall back to the old card I am using as a backup right now.



So help me out. What's the best AGP video card I can get that will work on this computer?



The system is a IBM ThinkCentre 8187-47U, and the basic specs of the system can be found here. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-51144.html



Again, what i'm looking for is the best possible nvidia card I could plug into the AGP port on this system. Thank in advance!|||8400GS PCI



Akash!|||u need any 8x agp card, good luck, i dont think theres much of a selection.



might be time to think about upgrading to a system with a pci-e slot, thats pretty much the new standard.|||I'm wondering why the 7600GT isn't working or maybe just didn't have the correct driver for it. If an AGP 6200 works then so should the 7600 as far as I know. You may want to retry installing it and make sure you have the correct driver. Beyond that if you want a better card for AGP you're best bet is ATI Radeon and will give you the best you will get out of that pc. (link at the bottom) I would suggest upgrading your mother board to a PCI express and you can get them pretty cheap these days for just a basic board that can handle 65nm dual's or quad's plus all the best PCIexp cards that are out but these ATI HD's would work nicely.
