my video card finally committed hari kari last night, now it overheats not only with graphics up in 3d games, but also merely while browsing web pages or watching a video online

it was a EVGA e-GeForce 6200 LE, without a fan, it pretty much never worked very well

now, I don't have the funds to get a whole new system (which is what I would need to truly upgrade, since my current box cannot take PCI-E cards), so to get a little more life out of the AGP system I'm gonna get yet another new AGP card

this one is the PowerColor AG3650, which is a bit better of a card overall, and actually has a fan this time, so hopefully this will solve at least Some of my ongoing issues

anyway, I can't play til it gets here, so have a fun week!

It always seems to me like whenever someone complains that their vid card has kicked the bucket, it is a Nvidia card.

Maybe it's just me.

My first major video card meltdown as an ATI. The second was nVidia. The card I have now is nVidia and I love it. No troubles at all so far *knocks on wood*.

Maybe the guys with newly dead ATI cards just fume in silence?
