all i have is the voodoo banshee, but its really a quantum3d raven, but it has the banshee chipset, the only game i play is cs, and it plays fine, so i dont need to upgrade

thats not a pci card though is it?...i think its an agp card....the only one i seen at that site was the PCI 64Mb Geforce2 Mx400 Video Card ...looks like thats the best pci card they have on the site for 75 bucks...it has to be way better then the old voodoo 3 2000 one i have though......i have tons of games from fps's to strategy and tons more other games i wanna play but cant cause im having a problem with my video being to freaking dark to see anything.....ive tried updating the drivers and using 3rd party drivers and everything else from the gamma settings and all and i just give up....i guess its time to move on to another video card....the one i have aint that great anyways maybe it was 2 years ago but not now...my system isnt all that either,what i really need is a new pc but i think getting a good video card now will atleast let me play some of the games i have now which im dying to play but cant...i have a k62 500 system with 160mb or ram...its decent but not the greatest....thanks....anybody else knows any good pci cards...let me know :)
