Re: what is the best AGP card?

Hi,

x1950xt, for example this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814241049
You will most likely need a new power supply as well.

Re: what is the best AGP card?

I have no idea if that seller is reliable.

You will need a quality 550W PSU or more. Something like this: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/114931
I would get the 650W version. It's only £8 more.

£5 cheaper:

http://overclockers.co.uk/showproduc...odid=GX-137-SP

It's the same card just a different chassis, better in my opinion if your case is small. I had the 256mb version (on Ebay for £50 ) and it was great.

Re: what is the best AGP card? [Moved From Gaming]

It used to be. The 3850 agp is now the best. But will require a good quality 550 to 600 watt powersupply.Quality brands include antec's trio , thermaltakes toughpower , corsair , pc power and cooling , coolermaster , or silverstone.
