    Some discussion and links to cheap AGP cards, Radeons primarily, it appears.


    Thanks for the heads up Doc. They are outta stock already at Egghead, so I was only able to use auto notify. Good price for a decent vid card tho. I hope they get some in soon.

    POWERCOLOR X800GTO AGP 256MB is the card/model btw 🙂 This will be just what I need for UT07's arrival 🙂

    As mentioned in another thread, I've ordered one of these. Also mentioned previously, the only way to determine what to buy without spending half your online time is to read the reviews. Most of the people in that thread stated this was a great card, better than the newer x1500, etc.

    This will bring my system up to date as much as I want for this year. I just installed a new Giga motherboard, 2 gigs of DDR, a 3.0 HT P4 chip, and a 500w maxi power supply. I was sooooo close to changing over to a PCIE video card and motherboard as Paladin, but somehow just stayed with AGP for the time being. This card seemed a logical choice 🙂
