Dear friends, I want to run Windows 7 on my old PC.The Mobo has on board ATI graphics, but the vendor does not provide driver for Windows 7. Can you suggest a cheaper Graphic card for the same. Pentium Dual Core 2.8 GHz D820 Intel D102GGC2 512x2 DDR2 RAM @ 533 MHz 80 GB Seagate IDE HDD

True. I just now checked on Intel's website, and that motherboard does not support Windows 7. So I recommend graphic card like 9500 GT. It should be availalbe for 3.4k.

anyway 9500gt is a good choice

otherwise a 9600gt will be a good choice if you have an external 6-pin power connect on your psu

9500Gt 512Mb DDR2 costs even low. Sparkle 9500Gt costs some around 2.7k maybe. Zotac/XFX costs 3.2k

yah, i sure abt it. Sparkle 9500GT should cost around 2700-2900 depending on location. & XFX is bound to quote a higher price tag on its cards. maybe your friend bought the 1Gb version or 512Mb DDR3. if so, its price tag is fully justified.

used? better get a brand new 9500gt. try search for sparkle. its real VFM for its price. & avoid 9400gt even if it got 1gb memory. a 256mb version of 9500gt wil trash it.

I'm getting Sparkle GeForce 9500 GT 512 DDR2 for 2650 INR. But the vendor says it will take 3-4 days to be available. Should I go for it. Will it work fine on D102GGC2?
