Reply: (edit)I dunno, dude. You're gonna have to retire that p4 sooner or later. Why put in over $100 for an AGP card when the motherboard, CPU, Fan, and RAM are going to need replacing in the somewhat near future? Have you put any thought into when you're planning on upgrading the processor? TECH-NO-LOGICAL ROMANCE!http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs12.html

Reply: (edit)The 7600GT and 7800GS are pretty much equal. I'd go with the 7800GS:
-bigger and probably more effective heatsink
-For now, it's $5 cheaper
-IMO, e-vga is better than XFX/Pine.
-even thought I said they were equal, the 256-bit memory bus of the 7800GS just may help at higher resolutions.
-higher model number is healthy for the e-penis (if you play by those rules :) ) Yes, that PSU (the Cooler Master) seems sufficient for your system. Pentium III--Descendant of Intel Core.

Reply: (edit)I got to say once again I really don't see the point in spending $150 on a video card. WIth your system, especially if your P4 isn't an 800MHz bus variant, your processor will bottleneck either graphics card. If you're gonna go with one, the 7800GS looks like the better deal, but I wouldn't honestly go with either one. I'd recommend more of something like this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ... Significantly cheaper. Why plop $150 down on a card that your system can't push to its full potential anyway, and you're going to be replacing it in a year to boot? As for the power supply, I'd look at a Thermaltake instead. TECH-NO-LOGICAL ROMANCE!http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs12.html

Reply: (edit)The other cards are faster, but at $50 more, and your system can't keep up. It's not a question which card is faster. It's a question of what is the best value for your system. TECH-NO-LOGICAL ROMANCE!http://www.homestarrunner.com/tgs12.html

Reply: (edit)I'm not familiar with every manufacturers' variant of the card. I will say I wouldn't pay any big premium between the cards. "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!

Reply: (edit)You can upgrade to an radeon x1950pro agp, but you just can't use its full potential, so why bother to waste extra money on something you don't need? If you are going to play games at 1600x1200 max FSAA + AA, then getting the best AGP card makes sense given these conditions more limited by the GPU not the CPU. If you are going to play games at mid setting 1024x768, then CPU does matter more... So if video card #1 cost $50-70, video card #2 cost $100-$120 and perform the same under 1024x768 since it is bottleneck by your CPU/FSB, then is it justified to spend almost double the amount to get the same result?

Reply: (edit)Like I said earlier, if you are going to play games mostly at 1024x768 resolution, getting the 128mb video card is enough unless you want to play at high resolution like 1600x1200 max FSAA + AA. If you insist choose to spend more than you have to, then get the 512mb x1950pro agp or 512mb gainward bliss 7800GS+ and call it a day... TMP-ManAsus P5P800 PAT

I don't necessarily agree there. May games with tons of high res textures can use 256M of video RAM even at 1024x768. In fact, GRAW caps your texture quality artificially if you don't have 512M of video RAM even at 1024x768, although you can hack around it. "Enough, enough bowing down to disillusion!

Reply: (edit)I WOULD GO WITH THE 7600 GT -- simply because it is cheaper and it gets more fps overall , then 7800 gs might get some higher fps but at the end the 7600 gt wins because it over takes 7800 gs in someway, i checked this on LEADTEK AND BFG. they both say that the 7600 gt wins , but why would the 7800 gs cost more then and it is newer HMMMMMMM plz anyone get back to me Brzi 10 MY SYSTEM SPECS Pentium 4 (R) - 3.4 GHz
