| 307311 | 2004-12-26 01:40:00 | if you get a computer with PCI-E, now it makes little to no speed over AGP. However in the future, when there will be software and hardware to take advantage of the extra bandwidth, it will make a difference. | Edward (31) | ||
| 307312 | 2004-12-26 01:46:00 | It all depends on how much you want to spend on the graphics card,as to what to get. At the moment I would go for a 6600gt AGP/PCI as it is the best new card for middle of the road spending,around $400+-, or 6800GT for more $$$. If you go pci you can have 2 x 6600gt, 2 x 6800gt and it has to be like that you cant have a 6600gt and a 6800gt together. Only the same GPU's and better to be the same company like gigabyte etc. Less hassel later on if you have problems ie compatability issues.Get one now ie 6600gt or 6800gt and then pop another one in later when you need to for games etc., quick and easy upgrade later on. p.s. I am not biased towards Nvida or Ati just read forums to find out like overclockers.co.nz.Personally I have a 9600 pro 128mb which i will update when I go to a pcie graphics card later and new motherboard, cpu, ram, s.c.,later as it still goes ok unless I find same spare change between now and then. :D |
