| 302956 | 2004-12-16 03:48:00 | easy choice Radeon 9600XT Ultra 128meg I disagree there. I recommend going with the Geforce 5200 XT, it is a much superior card. For $250 you could get two of them, then you can run them in SLI mode. Seriously man, you should see it open up a can of whoop-ass on Doom 3! |

| 302958 | 2004-12-16 04:20:00 | i do only have one AGP port - how do you get two | noone (22) | ||
| 302959 | 2004-12-16 04:22:00 | You would have to buy a brand spanking new motherboard - don't worry about it - waste of money as your CPU probably wouldn't fit. | HadO (796) | ||
| 302960 | 2004-12-16 04:22:00 | for 300$ the new additions are GeForce FX 5600 Ultra 128MB GeForce FX 5900 XT 128MB Radeon 9800 256MB Radeon 9600 XT 256MB Radeon 9700 128MB Radeon 9600 256MB |

| 302961 | 2004-12-16 04:24:00 | my current system is a Amd xp2800 with a gig of ram - this system as stated earlier only needs to last around a year - a year and a half until i can get a new system so im only upgrading the gfx so i can play next years games | noone (22) | ||
| 302962 | 2004-12-16 04:33:00 | Obviously the 9800 will be the most powerful but it really depends on what model it is. If it's the SE model you should still go with the 9600XT but what do you have at the moment? Do you really need the upgrade? I wouldn't bother getting an nVIDIA card unless your going for the latest gen ones (6600/6800 etc). |

| 302963 | 2004-12-16 05:07:00 | i Have a 9200 - i think this qualifies for a upgrade | noone (22) | ||
| 302964 | 2004-12-16 05:31:00 | Sell your 9200- that should net you around $80, and buy a 9800pro for around $300-$350. If you can't afford that, maybe buy a second hand 9800pro/9700pro? | Zygar (29) | ||

Very good idea. BTW, anyone know what's wrong with PriceSpy (http://www.pricespy.co.nz).. It seems to be down? :o |
