Hey i just figured out wt slots i have on my motherboard and it seems i have 1 AGP slot, i also have several PCI slots but when it came to looking for graphics cards with PCI they are quite rare compared to that of the AGP cards am i right? anyway presuming AGP is the newer slot out of the two, wt is the best card on the market, the details of my PC spec are on my profile so if u can cross reference it to see wt card would be suitable, obviously i want the best AGP card out their, but if u can give me options aswell in the middle price range that would be useful aswell. Thankyou

Nvidia 7900gs agp card. Do some searching around, read some old
articles from www.tomshardware.com In one of my machines Im still
running a 6800ultra agp, and it still performs pretty well. Gets a
little hot. In another one of my my machines Im running a 5900xt,
that card does real well also. But for nvidia cards I believe its the
7900...

Yes and no. Crysis I would not even attempt. Resource hog period.
But halo, call to duty, yes. If you read system requirements that
are usually on the label of the newer games they are pretty accurate.
This site is pretty cool at letting you know what you need for the
latest games..
