64MB GeForce TI4200 Died need a replacement?

by bw2007 - 1/23/09 6:42 AM

Hi all

My Dell Dimensions 8200 (6 yrs old) has a 64MB NVidia TI4200 - it appears to have died - diagnostic lights on back of PC indicate issue with graphics card and get no signal to screen. (tried re-seating it several times)

Looking for a replacement agp card - any suggestions - there don't seem to be many around these days and don't want to have to mess with changing power supply etc..

another question

Can I use a PCI card instead - would the PC boot up if I used one in place of an AGP type?

thanks

PC Dell 8200
Windows XP
256MB memory

here's a $40 geforce fx5500:

a PCI card will work but won't be any cheaper.

thanks for link

thanks for the link - that's a 256MB card - would there be any issues as it's replacing a 64MB one?

The reason I mentioned the PCI type was in case it was the actual agp slot that was busted.

I just want to get PC back up and running until I can replace the PC with something current

AGP gpu cards

by nofret - 1/25/09 2:33 PM In reply to: 64MB GeForce TI4200 Died need a replacement? by bw2007

After some digging I came up with a few choices.
Ati radeon x800gt
x700 x600
geforce 6600, 6600gt
After looking at the specs, I believe the geforce 6600 is it. Better bandwidth, HDR. and it should work with the axisting psu. Just look for AGP 8x or 4x cards.

I should stick with a 4x AGP.

I really just want a card to get system back up and running, will be replacing it at some point

Just so you know.

The 8X AGP card falls back to 1, 2, 4X based on what the socket tells it to do. And if the card is totally incompatible it won't plug in.
