Trust me on this one; I’ve been a member@ocf for years. When making a purchase of one of the leading AGP cards, you have to ask yourself these questions. Will my current components hold back the ability of my new card? **** yeah, all the new cards do. Well what's your AGP @ 4x or 8x like the card (That ones hindering play)? Your board, do you have Dual-channel? If not, (that's really hindering play). What's your chipset @ http://www.intel.com/products/chipsets/index.htm this plays a big part in gamming, (big ****ing difference here). These are just some of the questions one has to ask him or herself before buying a big card and wanting to see big differences. PM me before any purchases. (Seriously, especially if you're playing 1st person shooters.)
