I would like to upgrade the graphics capabilities of my 8600/250. I would like to also max out the RAM one day and perhaps even upgrade the processor...but I feel graphics is currently the biggest drawback in playing old games.
I know the Radoen 9200 is the best PCI card possible, but they are rare enough and expensive. A step down brings me to the Radeon 7000. They seem common enough and family affordable. How much of a boost could I expect compared to the lowly built in 4MB of video ram I currently have?
I have found a few Radeon 7000's, but the cheapest ones seem to be pulled from Xserve's. Would these ones be compatible?
