Title: Must read for people upgrading AGP/cards
Post by: 38ruk on March 02, 2007, 02:50:24 PM

Here is part two of an article showing what the newer line of AGP cards can do in an older system . If you have a decent AGP system, a video card upgrade may prolong it's life .

I'm posting this just as a heads up because ive been asked quite a few time about this and never really had a series of tests to look at . I was under the impression that older cpu's would bottleneck the newer cards so bad it wasnt worth the upgrade. Well they do bottleneck but not as bad as i thought .

That was a good read, the quality of their articles has been markedly improving over the past few years.
