 Re: Having troubles with BioShock
The X600 uses PCIe 1.0 16x - you can find a good replacement card on eBay for less than $30.

 Re: Having troubles with BioShock
I trust newegg more than eBay... which ones do you like? I think I'm going to end up getting the one with the best ratings/reviews because I don't have a lot of knowledge about this stuff. http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductLi ... rchInDesc=

 Re: Having troubles with BioShock
My recommendation: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6814162022It's cheap after rebate, and it will keep your rig taking on newer games for a little while longer. Do it

 Re: Having troubles with BioShock
Are you sure your X600 is PCIE because they made them in AGP also. I have several X800 series that are AGP and a couple that are PCIE. Google your motherboard model to get the specs before you pay for hardware that may not work for you.
