The video card in my computer has crapped out, and since my computer is almost 5 years old, I'm hesitant to put much money into it. I'm looking at getting a new computer, but that will probably have to wait a month or so for me to have the cash to do that. In the meantime, I'm looking to see if I can buy a cheap replacement for my card (GeForce 6600 DDR 256mb AGP) either new or used. Until then I'll have to kick the kids off the other computer in order to play WoW at all.

I have a spare graphics card I can mail you. Give me your address (via email)... oh yeah and keep reminding me, I am really bad with mailing gifts :P

Don't know if this is old news or not, but I just stopped by Newegg.com to look up some stuff for ya. Pretty cheap for some decent cards...

Really, if you're gonna buy one from Newegg, don't buy anything under a "4 egg", which is basically a star (check the user reviews and it will give an average "egg" or star") The only reason I linked that last one is because I like ASUS =P

But yeah, pretty good deals for some decent cards! =D

Thanks for the links. I might have to use one of those if Amazon doesn't hurry up and send me what I bought from them. I ordered a PNY VCG62256AEB GeForce 6200 256MB DDR 64-bit from Amazon. It's similar to the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130452. I went with the free shipping option and now I'm regretting it. It hasn't shipped yet and isn't scheduled to ship until Feb. 9. Hopefully it will get here quickly once it does ship.

Also check out Microcenter. www.microcenter.com. I like them better than Frys
