realy you need to move up to a 7800/7900 or x1900, I wouldn't move up to a new mid range card.

I was looking at the 7800GS, it seemed like it would be ideal since it had good overclocking capabilities, and it was well within my pricerange. However, I've only been able to find AGP versions of this card. Is it an AGP only? If so, is there a PCI-E counterpart to this card?

It's ALIVE!!!

And before you ask, yes, that is a female cutout beer coozie.

And that porcelain statue is my "Bud Hound". You can lift him off to reveal a small place to store your goodies.

(yes, the dog is holding buds)

She's running sweet. I got Speedfan regulating fan RPM's.

Temps are 30 idle, and 42 under load.

Just ran America's Army, highest settings for everything, 80-90FPS.

Gaming just isn't the same anymore
