Video Card advice

[inkdesigner]

I am looking into getting a new video card for my system. It HAS to be an AGP card, as I am not yet ready to shell out the dough for a new motherboard with PCI-E slots (I can't get the wife to let me spend that much cash yet). I am debating between the Radeon X850 Pro or the Radeon X850 XT PE. I am running on stock cooling for a Dell XPS system (don't flame me on that) and I plan on upping my power supply to a 450 to 500 watter. Between the two cards, which would you go for? Thanks.

Re: Video Card advice

If they make a 7800 in AGP, get that.

Otherwise, 6800Ultra AGP.

Yes, it's been spotted in stores, and one guy bought one. It should be coming out soon.

Re: Video Card advice

Man, i wish it would come out for pcie. It'd be right in my price range seeing that the 7800gt is 280 or so and the 6800gt is around 210. I should have waited on buying the x800gto2. Oh well, I'll have an x850xtpe out of it.

Here is the 6800GS PCIE:

Here is a killer Mobo (I just sold mine to go to SLI board)

So for Roughly $270 you could get a PCIE/AGP Mobo and be ready for the next PCIE Video card coming down the pipe.
