I'm afraid that is the one thing I can't help. I may be out of luck with this computer. My mobo is pretty old and doesn't have either AGP or PCI-e slot to get the good video cards. I had thought my Geforce 6200 OC is one of the top PCI cards. If anyone knows of a better one please tell. I'll be sure to see how Fraps works out for me.

Thanks for the reply!

edit: Okay I thought your 8500 was PCI-e but then I found this.

With that I have a few questions. I am running Direct X9 So should I go with the 7300 or could I get the 8500 and it would come with direct X10 to upgrade? Also would these cards give me the power I need? The 7300 doesn't seem like a huge upgrade to mine. But I do like what I see in the 8500. You can see the specs they have, let me list what mine has.

256Mb DDR Ram
AGP 2.0 Interface
375MHz core clock; dual 400MHz RAMDACs
Supports Microsoft DirectX 9.0 with Shader Model 3.0 and OpenGL for Microsoft Windows
NVIDIA CineFX 3.0 engine
NVIDIA UltraShadow II technology
NVIDIA Intellisample 3.0 antialiasing
VGA, DVI and S-video outputs; DVI-I to VGA connector included

I'm thinking grab an 8500 unless anyone knows of a better PCI card. I see all these sites telling about them introducing the PCI cards but all I see for sale are the PCI-e versions. Help!
