I'm going to be using a motherboard for my new build that does not have onboard video, so I need to put in a video card. It's a PCIe slot. I'll be running a P4 3.0 with 4 gigs of RAM, most likely running Vista or Win 7. Does it really matter what generation of video card I use? I can get a 4500 series radeon card now with 128 megs onboard video ram for like $10.
Or, there's the crazy 4 gig crossfire crap that I have no idea about, since it's so new. Cripes, when did we go away from AGP??
Anywho, I only have 2 slots on this mobo -- one PCIe 16x, and a PCI slot. I'll probably reserve the PCI slot for a wireless card.
Since my chip is a P4 3.0 HT (and that's pretty much the best chip the board will support) what's the recommendation for video card?
