I'm putting together my oldschool desktop, it's about 5 years old, and the newest thing on it is a 3 year old Sapphire X1600 PRO graphics card which I don't see any point in upgrading as it'll run what I want fine. What cheap(ish) things could I buy that would suit the card for the computer?

Is it pci-express or agp?

You could stick some new DDR RAM in there, but DDR is steadily increasing in price and is so much more expensive than DDR2 now. How much RAM does it have now?

@ Chalex4: I believe it has roughly 1GB of Ram, could do with a bit more.
@ Target: I think it's an AGP.

Yeah, I seem to be attracting fail at the moment. I saw your name at the bottom, and you and target's signatures I don't instantly recognise so I just guessed it was him.

On topic?

1GB is fine if you're running XP, though more is always better. What CPU has it got?
