ATI, AGP, for around $150

[jagrjones]

I'm looking for some recommendations for a new video card. I'd like to keep it ATI and around $150. I have an agp slot in my board, so that's a must also.

Current Specs:
Asus K8V-X Mobo
1.5GB Corsair Valu-ram
Athlon 64 3400+
Ati 9600xt 256MB

I was thinking of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16814102680

What do you guys think?

no no do not go with that huge waste of money. go with an x800 card it will be better. also you can go with a 6800 card if you want

6800gt > any card in its price range

I'm a Nvidia FanBoy, and I do have 6800 GT, and I'm very happy with it, and no I never used ATI cards, so there it is. My vote goes out to the 6800 GT.

Does this seem better? 6800GT is a bit more than I'd like to spend. 6800 is alright but only come from Apollo and Asus for agp (from newegg) and the 3 cards they have all have some sketchy reviews.

My 6800 GT (AGP) is made by BFG technologies. It cost me $500 U.S. I have it for about 2 and half to 3 yrs. I have checked with BFG Tech. Website, and I can't find the card there, the AGP card. come think of it, I don't think they even make it anymore..

If your dont mind spending a few more bucks, go with the 7600 gt, it does pretty well in comparison to the 7900 gt and the x1800xl. It's the new nvidia budget card replacing the 6600 - according to nvidia. Anyways, thats the card I want to get....

I can't seem to find the 7600gt at newegg in agp. It looks like the 6600GT for me. Thanks guys.
