Since I broke my old card and don't have the cash to buy a new mobo and PCI card I need to get a new AGP card. I used to have a 9800PRO since I'm getting a new one I might as well get one thats a good amount better. Right now I'm thinking about these two and could use some help deciding.
Newegg.com - XFX PVT73AUDE3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail
Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100171L Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X HDCP Video Card - Retail
Keep in mind I do plan on upgrading my mobo to PCI eventually and I'll have to get another new card then but I'm not sure when that will be. It could be anywhere between 4 months to a year. If I'm satisfied with the improvement in this new card it could be even longer than a year though.
Also with the X1950PRO I have the free slots from my power supply and its a 520W so I think I'm good on that end of it.
