lol that p4 would surely bottleneck it

i know... i found this barebone online for $55 that i may buy... it has a 3800+ some 939 Board and blah blah... and it uses AGP... which is a bit odd... if i find any other cheap ones... i may buy it...

Which would be better from these two?

Newegg.com - XFX PVT73AUDE3 GeForce 7600GT 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail

Newegg.com - SAPPHIRE 100209L Radeon X1950GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card - Retail


And can anyone tell me the dimensions on them? I'm not sure if my case is big enough.

The X1950GT is quite a bit faster than the 7600GT

Why is it like $20 cheaper then?

because ATI is awesome like that... why is the 2900pro 100 dollars cheaper than the 2900xt... CUZ ITS AWESOME! lol

i'm not sure..i guess supply and demand. Not too many know about the lower X1900 and X1950 series.

Can anyone tell me if the x1950 gt would work with my power supply?

I have this one: Newegg.com - FSP Group (Fortron Source) AX400-PN ATX12V 400W Power Supply 120/220 - 240v NEMKO, TUV, CSA, IEC, UL, CE - Retail

Yep...It will work fine with that power supply. That FSP AX400-PN, can supply more power than what most people think.

When I had the X1950Pro on that power supply, it worked flawlessly.

 

[NosBoost300]

well... considering my friend just bought a dell with a q6600 8600gts 360 gb hard drive and 2 cd drives... i'm sure it can power your system just fine...

i'm so mad at my friend for not letting me build his computer for him...

Cheers for all the input guys. I think I'm going with the X1950GT.
