AGP Graphics

what is a good, cheap AGP graphics card that will last a while without having to switch to PCI-Express

 

well define cheap.

 

Do you play games? And I don't mean Solitaire.

 

yeah I do play games

 

the best agp graphics card out there is the geforce 7800GT 128mb edition but i think the radeon x1000 series will do ya

 

a 6800gt will be sufficient.

 

DO YOU KNOW HOW MYCH THE 7800 GT COSTS??!!!???!!! ITS SO EXPENSIVE!!!!!

 

that is why I asked you for your budget.

 

Using ATI Radeon X1300 Pro which I got for $150 on Newegg. You can probably find an equally powerful NVidia card for cheaper though.

 

budget= $150

 

i was unaware there was a 7800gt for agp slot? kidding?

 

with a $150 budget, go with the 6600GT.

 

AGP is pretty much dead, so if you are upgrading now, you best get a moderate level card like 6600 or 6800.

 

go for the nVidia 7800GS with 7900GPU. very good agp card, but not the cheapest

Nvidia 6600 is a good cheapish card

 

he won't be able to buy a 7800GS with a $150 budget.

 

i only have a 6600... but it does wat's needed (well atleast its an xfx hehe)
not the best, but im happy with the dual out =)
