I'd like to know if the Nvidia GeForce 7300 GT graphic card fits in older computers?
With this old computer I mean the age of 4.
People say that the newer graphic cards like FX series and the 8800 GT cards don't fit any more in old computers.

Thanks.

Well, if it's an AGP card and AGP mobo, it'll fit. If it's an AGP mobo and PCIe card, it won't fit. Also applies the other way. If you're not sure, post the model of the mobo and the graphics card, and we'll check it up.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

Depends if your PC is AGP or PCI-e, with it being 4 years old I guess its AGP. You need to find that out first before buying a new card.

Ok but can some one explain me where I can find that information because I ain't that good with all this computer stuff.
The card is PCI-e Express.

OR if any one knows a good card for playing CoD4. But it has to fit in an old computer...

Well, that's an AGP FX5500. The 7300 won't fit.

Also lol @ that 5500 being slower than my Mobility Radeon 9200.

What is your price limit for a new card? Also list your other specifications. Which processor, memory amount.

My Mobility Radeon is even older...

Does BF2 fine on lowest. It was ahead of it's time at the time of release.

7300's come in AGP, but I'd probably go with a 6800XT or HD 2600 over the 7300.

OP: Ultimately, for AGP, here's a 7600GS for $92 ($72 with mail-in rebate):

If you know someone willing to part with an old 6800 Ultra 256MB AGP for cheap, it'll do wonders, provided nothing's bottlenecking you.

These two options are about the best you can do, short of chucking away that rig and getting a new one (mine was built from near-premium parts in Nov'04 and can still run most new games at reasonably high settings, but is nearing the end of its high-performance gaming life cycle).

I know that. I've had several, but his card is PCI-E.

Alright, I'll post some more details of the computer soon.

Also what do you advice for playing COD4? Because I know that it runs Battlefield 2 on it's lowest.
But I actually posted this for CoD4..
Thank you

Well, the 7600 cards should run CoD fine. They run BF2 maxed, if the rest of the computer keeps up.

looking more at the sempron online, you should be able to run it.

I beg to differ, as that CPU is the extreme low-end. I looked up some SuperPI results for the Sempron 2800+, and one of those in Socket 754 @ 2.4GHz can barely manage 50 seconds in SuperPI. As a benchmark, we could use my AMD Athlon MP 1600+ which performs one minute in SuperPI, or my Pentium M 1.6 which does SuperPI in about 55 seconds. A 2.4GHz P4 will do SuperPI 1M in about 50 seconds, so it'll be touch and go. The minimal cache of the Sempron line is what's killing it, as 256kB is less than what's in a Pentium 3 from 1998.

CoD4 will run, no doubt, but I wouldn't expect much performance at all, since, sorry to say, that CPU is way under powered.

Also, touch and go basically means "on the edge" or "barely".
