[QUOTE="ixian, post: 413952, member: 54932"] If I were you I'd seriously consider going PCI-e. I mean, AGP is so dead at this point it's practically useless. It was dead 4 years ago. Pick up a 780g board for $60 (Gigabyte makes good ones, check the threads here) and a 5050e processor for another $50 and heck, you won't even need to buy another video card, and when you want one the board supports PCI-e. In the meantime that combo will handle all the HD you can throw at it, I should know, I have two. Also, while no one has ever accused the 3200HD IGP (the build in video on that board) of being a gaming powerhouse it will handle your older games just fine, and again, when you want to upgrade, you can put any modern video card you want in it. You *could* save a little money now just buying an AGP 3850 but you are putting money in to dead tech. I mean, those cards, you can hardly give away now. [/QUOTE]
