the best AGP card I can get on a 260 euro budget?
I have no idea what to buy. just so you know, i never play at high resolutions and here's a pic of how many slots there are in my computer (I heard some cards use more than 1) I want to get rid of my geforce 6200 as soon as possible.

well AGP cards can only ever take 1 slot, boards with AGP only have 1 AGP slot
PCI is too slow
you dont seem to have any PCI-Express slots
so
the best you can probably do is getting a Geforce 7600GT or a Radeon X1950, not sure if you can find the 7800s, 7900s in AGP form though

the 7600GT would probably run you about 100 Euro maybe, probably less
the x1950 maybe up to 150 Euro, these are just guesses, i dont have any price list on these older cards as most shops do not sell them anymore (to my knowledge)

a crap one that's why i was considering getting a new card, but by the looks of it I'll probably need a new power unit (right now i have a very generic 450w) and new fans or something since my 6200 old as it is overheats easily. so i might just keep saving till i get 1,000 and buy a completely new computer with pci-e and plenty of room for future expansions like enough slots for 8GB of ram and things like that.
