Hey guys I was wondering, im upgading my comp and I need to know, what graphics card should i buy?
Im looking for decent quality but not too expensive.
The problem with that link is that everything is PCI-Express, which an older system is unlikely to have. The newer GeForce cards seem to be impossible to find in AGP, if they even exist at all. (Maybe from an e-tailer, but I don't trust them for hardware, where problems or returns are such a possibility) I'd go with a Radeon 9600XT, or if feasible, an 9800 Pro or 9800XT.

I have a GeForce 6600GT AGP card that I bought from Newegg.com. i have purchased alot of components there and never had any problems. If your looking at an agp card that has some value for newer games, like farcry, doom 3, and half life 2, this card can do it. Its about $200 though, so i dont know if its in your price range. And it blows the radeon 9800 xt away in games. It is my first nvidia card and i hae to say that i am impressed with it.

I use a ATI RADEON X800 XT Platinum Edition. Granted this is a fucking sweet card its more than nessecary now. That said, Id tell you to go with a 9600 XT. In my opinion one of the best cards put out by ATI. If youre wondering why I didnt say the 9800... well, I like to think of that as the bastard child of some experiment gone horribly wrong in the ATI labs. Just dont bother with it. The 9600 is cheaper, better, but will most likely be outclassed by Christmas. So the decsion is up to you. Thats my two cents...
