Paranoid Marvin Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I'm building a cheap PC for my sister (I mean *really* cheap). The motherboard I have already has rubbish intergrated graphics and only PCI slots. If I get a Nvidia FX5200 (the minimum specs for Aero Glass) will is still work if it is in a PCI slot rather than AGP or PCI-E? I'm not planning on this PC being fast Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64226-aero-glass-question/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

sponkemonke Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 How much do you want to pay for the video card? You could get a what I have (Asus 6200 with TC) for $30 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/64226-aero-glass-question/#findComment-454574 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colonel Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 It should work with PCI. As long as you've got 128MB (or 64MB if you're using 1024x768 or smaller) of vram you should be fine.

AntarcticP Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 To be honest, I would install an older Windows version (good old XP). If this PC has to be really cheap, I bet you won't get more than 1 GB ram ? Vista is just a lot slower than XP...

vbetts Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 Vista is a nice OS(For me it works way better than XP.) But I don't really reccomend running Vista on a 5200. Maybe a higher 5 series, like the 5800 would run it pretty decent.
