Hey there. Would you happen to know what model card you have (Radeon 9200, Radeon 9600, etc.)? Radeon 128 simply describes a Radeon card with 128MB of memory.

For an AGP card under 100 dollars, you could get a 9600 Pro, or if you search a bit, you can get a refurbished card like a 9800 from Newegg or ZipZoomFly for about $100. If you can save up another $60 or $70 bucks, you can a 6600GT, which is a much newer and more capable card at a reasonable price (around $170).

first off, which Radeon are you refering to, there are many differant models out there with 128 megs of ram. either way, it should be able to run WoW ok, seeing as how the requirements suggest you only need a card with 32 mb. as for a card under 100 bux, might i suggest looking around on newegg.com. its the best place to buy any computer component in my opinion.

Whoops, its the 9250 and also Im in Canada so Canadian prices please.

how long would it take you to actually look around and not make others to do it for you?

my friend has that card for PCI and he plays WoW all the time. after he got a gig of RAM, it plays pretty good.

9600Pro will PWN the 5700LE; the LE signifies that 5700's castration It's like a 9800SE, only a dozen times slower.

The card you have is more than enough to play WoW. I ran it on a Ti4200 with 64MB of memory and only had ocassional problems with the card heating up.

Whatever the specifics of your card, the fact that it has 128MB of memory shows it is at least a generation beyond what I had. Thankfully, I've upgraded since then.
