Ok I have a http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814143069 at the moment, and it freezes up in games and nothing seems to fix it, just doesn't like my pc even though it works in my friends computer fine, anyways, needs to be AGP, and around $200 or less. I like playing bioshock and source, so at least able to run those pretty easily. Thanks
i got the ATI x1950 --- w/ 512mb its frigging great man not sure about the price in $ but in € i payed 180€ 4 months ago for it theres an AGP version
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814241041 x1950pro FYI 7600GS sucks. Hard(at that price). I just sold my 7600GT(which is around 20-50% faster) for $60
Hmm, I'd really suggest you upgrading your motherboard, if you are going to get an AGP mid-high end graphics card now, it'd probably'll last you a year at max. And if your motherboard isn't really good and your processor is still old the graphics card performance can't be optimized either. But if you're really insistent on just upgrading your card, I'd suggest ATI 1950XT, I've heard from a reliable source that they're better than Nvidia, although I own a 8800GTS 320, most value for money card IMO if you're doing a mass upgrade, and good too.
and if you don't give a ---- about 20 dollar and want double MB take this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814161071 if you get this one be sure to have enough room...
good eye, i hadn't seen that. the 512mb versions are faster in some cases. in the bulk of cases they aren't, but there ARE games which benefit. and ~ same cost tool

[/b][/quote] not as much as most people think. you'de actually be surprised. It comes in handy the most when using large texture sets at high resolutions more so than having output rendering occur at higher resolutions.
