Can I update my video card?

it is ATI RAGE XL. ATI stopped making RAGE graphics cards but I'm thinking maybe there's one that's newer. Do i hav to buy a new one?|||1. you need to know what the slot type is (its either pci, agp or pci-e). google the model number of your computer with the term "specifications", consult your motherboard manual, or run http://www.cpuid.com/cpuz.php to find out.

2. you need to decide on a card

(if its pci then you have to wonder if its really worth doing as the technology is over 8 years old. pci-e and agp are worth doing)

3. once youve decided on a card, check your power supply capacity against the card's requirements.|||You can go to their website and see if an update is able. If not, then you can either can get a new card,or live with what you have.
