Okay, I have a PC that runs an older socket 754 mobo and AGP slot video card etc etc. It's my video gaming PC and movie editing/viewing etc. For Xmas however I'm getting a larger 40"+ widescreen monitor and need to know whether or not it's worth buying a 256MB graphics card for the AGP slot to match to a monitor of that size which requires such a resolution-able video card + dual-dvi ports etc.
Well I don't have any mobo's in the four towers I have that run anything newer than socket 754 lol. I'm outdated I know.
So, should I just get a 256MB video card for 4x/8x AGP slot of this newest PC, or save up and build a newer AM2 or conroe buildup for video purposes with a PCI-E slot for a better video card possibility and then get the bigger monitor to match to that system.
I figure I have so many PC's already I should upgrade them, but really I'd have to re-do everything inside to update them each. This one I'm on new, the newest 754 would need a new mobo, PSU to support the graphical power needed, RAM to match, hard drives with SATA etc. lol...
What do you guys think. If yay for get AGP card and monitor, what card. I only really see an XFX 256mb card for like $180 that could do what I want I think. Or...slowly buildup a newer PC unit alltogether for everything?
Thanks everyone for any input!
