January 13, 200818 yr Hi, I currently have a GeForce 7300 LE graphic card, and since the fan on it is broken (stille turns, it's the bearing that's broken) and since I don't really need a better card, I'm still wandering if I SHOULD just replace the fan (calling the company and putting it on the warranty) or completely replace the card with a better one. If you say a better one, I would like it if you say which card is the good one to buy. Note: I have a limited budget and I don't go often on full screen games.
January 13, 200818 yr If you have a limited budget then please tell us what the limit is so we can make some recommendations. If you are on a very limited budget then just warranty the card - why pay when you can replace that free of charge? I see little point in buying a newer card if you rarely play intensive games or intend to in the near future.
January 13, 200818 yr Author The budget I have is around $150 CaD. I still can go higher as I have a job and living alone and all. I just don't like going higher than that for a card.
January 13, 200818 yr How about an 8400 GS for $35 USD? I once shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die.Pics or it didn't happen. I hate my generation.
January 13, 200818 yr How about a JATON Video-PX358LE-TWIN GeForce 7300LE? It's 7300LE! I am Teh_King[My dA][My Last.FM][My Twitter]
January 13, 200818 yr This is why I avoid graphics cards with built-in fans, FWIW. How much memory are you looking for? The 128s are dirt cheap lately.

January 13, 200818 yr Author Well, I'd say 256 since most games now need that or more. Waiting for more answers :P.
January 15, 200818 yr It depends what you're going to use it for. I've been using a run-of-the-mill Dell pc, with a Radeon X1300. I salvaged a few dell parts, and bought a new GeForce 8800GTS 512mb (along with a new psu :( ) and I've noticed a huge difference in framerates. If you're just going to be doing some word processing or Runescape playing, I'd suggest you just get a replacement fan. However, if you're going to get something that you're going to use for a while, may as well go for quality! It also depends on whether you can fit any card in your case, or just low-rise ones. (This depends on your motherboard and case)
January 15, 200818 yr This is the best card for the money $89.99 CaD. Should play most games on medium settings and older ones on high. Its a big boost from the 7300, although if your looking for a like for like replacement just buy new fan or send it back under warranty.
