Graphics Cards

[[TCS]BlackMamba 0]

Currently I have a 9800 Pro which, I am looking to upgrade sometime in the near future to an X800. Currently I have an AGP only motherboard so I would prefer an AGP X800. However the PCI-E versions are like around £100+ where the AGP version are like £200+ (on the sites ive browsed anyway). Is there anywhere where I can get an X800 AGP for like the PCI price? (perhaps a super bargainous internet site).

It may just be easier to upgrade my MOBO. Currently I am on a E-Pox 8KDA3+ which is serving me well. However would it work out cheaper to buy a new PCI-E mobo and then be able to get the cheaper G-Card. The mobo only needs to be similar spec to the current one I have (better would be nice though as I don't want to upgrade my mobo again in the near future) as it is adequate. A new mobo must support a socket 754 AMD 64 3000+ and RAM in 3 slots upto 3Gb of DDR1 PC3200.

Thanks

http://www.newegg.com

they usually have pretty good prices. Not sure about shipping costs though.

eBay. Good stuff there. Just be sure to buy from people that are established or buy from the etailers that are on there.

Currently your best bet would be to go with just a graphics card.

You if you did upgrade your mobo at a later time you would want a Socket 939 and a SLI mobo with 2 pci express slots so you can upgrade to another graphics card later on or a X2 AMD CPU....

Id suggest the 6800GT its going for around 250$ most places. Ebay/newegg etc...
