i got a 478 Mobo and i was wondering if i should stick with my 7800GS or go for the X1950 AGP btw is there gonna be a 512 version?

 

[Crazy9000]

x1950 pro AGP should be just on the $300 mark, I'm not sure about links becuase newegg doesn't work on my computer

i would save the money for a new system. remember dx 10 is right around the corner same with windows vista.

X1950 Pro would be your choice if you are sticking with AGP.

He has the better idea though.

A $300 vid card is overkill on a AGP system. I recommend payin' up around $150 and pocketing the rest.

There are 7600GT's available on ebay for the AGP bus. They're likely the fastest thing available around that price point.

If you insist on buying a $300 dollar card though, then by all means pick up a X1950Pro, you can't go faster on AGP.

Yup. I will be getting my copy of Windows Vista on February 27th hopefully.

Maybe I can get a new Sansa e250, and the LOTR 50th Anniversary edition (the books.)

I dunno... that's a lot of money. Luckily, I will be getting the upgrade edition of Vista Ultimate, which will cost $140 less for the same thing. Thank god I have a spare 98, 2000, and XP CD laying around.

EDIT: I reiterate, you should pocket that money, get a job or something, save up more money, and then upgrade during Q2 '07.
