Thanks again for everything guys!

So I had bought and AGP card with which I did not have a AGP slot. DOH!

Then I went and bought a cheapy PCI (Ati rage 3D II+ ) card that ended up being 10 years old and did not support Direct 3D. DOH!

So my track record here is not so good. I've been gettings different advice and I don't want to spend another dollar unless you are sure this is going to work for me this time.

Below is the stats on my computer...

Insignia Personal Computer. Intel(R) Pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.88 GHz, 758 MB of Ram. Windows XP.

There is no AGP nor a PCI Express.

I want to hook the card to the TV in my cab so I need S-video out.

I would like to be able to play MK and Killer Instinct which I have been able to do with my on board video.

Please post a link here to a hopefully low cost card that will work for me. I do not care if its on ebay or some stores site. If it is on Ebay please specifically say your maximum bid for the item.

Thanks again in advance.

If there is no pci-e or agp, the only other choice you really have is a PCI card.  It shouldn't be too hard to find a semi decent one in your price range.  If you go to like newegg.com or buy.com  you should be able to filter by type.

Here is one I just looked up really quick, but it only has a dvi and s-video connection.

Wow, that's a pretty modern computer to not have an AGP or PCIe slot.

I thought the same thing, but then remembered Dell sells business/network type pc's that do not have a graphics slot.

As a mater of fact that is where this computer came from. I just upgraded at work and yanked this one for my cab. Didn't anticipate the graphics card problem.
