I am looking to upgrade my vid card without springing for a new pcie system Currently I am running a nvidia FX5700LE 256MB, I am looking at the nvidia 7600 256mb agp card. Any sugestions?
thanks

There's only one 7600GT card. If you can FIND it (it's out of stock most of the time) it's a damn good card. It is, however, much more expensive than the GS card. This is because there's only 1 in AGP. There are dozens in PCIe.
If you just want to stick with AGP a while longer, skychimp is selling an ATI x800 on these forums. He's throwing in a 1GB stick of PC3200 with it (and asking about $200 for the package).
If you want to go with the 7600GS, it's a decent card. The GT is a lot better. The GT ranks right up there in performance with the 7800GS (probably THE best AGP card in the world right now). The 7600GS will probably run AH just fine. The major difference between the GS/GT is the clock speeds (it does the same, it just does it a lot faster).

thanks for the info Krusty. I will go back to either Newegg or Pricegrabber and look for the card.

x800xl and pc3200 ram ;)
Post is right below this great card cheaper than you'll ever find one goes for 270-460$
Its a steal just PM me if you want it:D
FYI new scards are out = 8800's and 1950's from ati

Running the 7600GT here. I love it... best bang for the price range (which is why it is sold out often). Anything better you look at around 80-100 USD more, anything cheaper has a LOT less performance.
-
x800xl is better:t

Ignoring that spamtard (check every forum, he's replying to every post with BS in every sub-forum), there is something you can do.
My old setup was AGP and DDR. I went to PCIe but kept my CPU/RAM/etc. I got a motherboard with BOTH DDR2 and DDR1, both AGP and PCIe. You can only use one type of ram at a time, and I'm sure one vid card at a time, but it allows you to keep what you have and upgrade slowly. My motherboard was only $50 on newegg.com as well.

I dunno Chimp..... that seller has like 2400 sales with not 1 bad review. If he says the card hasnt been overclocked and works well than I am sure that it does.
I have never recieved a bad product off ebay. The key is to read the sellers reviews. I garentee that seller wouldnt sell junk.

I think someone watched Borat over the weekend and now thinks they can be funny like him.
There's a fine line between clever and stupid, my friend.

7600gt link on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-VIDEO-CARD-LEADTEK-7600-GT-AGP-560-1400-DDR3_W0QQitemZ330055342876QQihZ014QQcategoryZ80187QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
What do u think of this in a AMD 3.0 Barton core , 1 gig PC3200 DDR 400MHZ Ram , 460 watt ps , Gigabyte GA-7N400 Pro2 mb , am currenty running 6600 card , not a gt or anything .
Was thinking that maybe I could get the best card to fit my CPU now as I bought down when I made this PC .

I would seriously consider buying a PC component at an online store like Newegg.com before I rolled the dice on an ebay purchase. There are just so many ways to get screwed over with that kind of thing.
I had a 7600 i gave to a squaddie, he likes it ok... it's not anything fantastic but it will definitely run AH pretty-like at 1280x1024 at about 25-35 fps, depending on the rest of the system.
