    Ati 9800 Pro 128mb, pretty sure its 8x agp.
    Find good prices @ www.newegg.com or TigerDirect.com , both trusted.

    Correction, Newegg does not have the best prices. I would suggest zipzoomfly.com, tigerdirect.com, buyxg.com and geek.pricegrabber.com <<that one lists alot of the prices

    But are they trusted? I know tigerDirect is. I could just google "Online comuter stores with best prices" and I could get my item ripped up.

    zipzoomfly was formally googlegear. Yes, they are trusted. Buyxg is a very nice company, I got my RAM from them and my motherboard. Both were shipped very nicely in alot of bubble rap. I bought my processor from tiger direct, and they are a good company also. geek.pricegrabber.com lists a lot of stores along with their ratings. I found these stores by selecting low prices, and then seeing which had the highest ratings.

    Ive bought things from tiger direct before.. I looked there, but I wasn't 100% sure on what the better brands where.. from the looks of your posts ATI Radeon seems to be pretty good. thanx

    Nvidia GeForce 6800GT or Ultra. Just my opinion - but I don't know what you have available to spend.

    Get a Radeon 9800 pro if you're looking for a cheaper high end card or any of the "X" series if you want the top-top o' the line ;/

    AGP is allright but if you want the latest tech:: NVIDIA is the best with the best graphics chips far superior to ATI's :: i had the ATI 850XT special edition 256MB PCI EXPRESS 16X and it wasen't compatible with my ASUS SLI DELEUXE BOARD i bought the LEADTEK 256MB PCI EXPRESS NIVIDIA 6800 GT and it works great plus i can go SLI and dual channel that means get two video cards that work together and will own ::
