409947 2005-12-05 00:56:00 Either a X800XT PE

or

X850XT

Top notch cards... these are the 2 I would go for.

I have a X800XT myself see specs in signature machine runs like a dream.

cheers

409948 2005-12-05 04:34:00 I think you might be dissappointed with an upgrade. The cost will be significant and your current card is pretty good for an AGP card.

I suggest save your pennies for a new PC with a PCIx slot. If you wait for Win Vista to be released to make your purchase you will get a really nice machine.

409949 2005-12-06 07:25:00 The "current" card doesn't have enough grunt to display modern games at reasonable detail, If the user upgraded to the suggested card they would double performance....

Sounds like an excellent move to me, Granted its using tech which isn't getting widespread suport anymore but I wouldn't write off a machine with a 3Ghz cpu.
