Best AGP gfx card the better side of 150 quid best agp card for £150 anyone? im using a 5900xt and its made of wood
If you look around you can find some places selling off 6800GTs for about £150/£160.. OCUK do a 6800GS for £190.. a bit more than your budget but worth every penny. They also have a X800XL goin for £177.. its a prett good card. Also (completely not what ur asking about but still a bargain..) they have a WD 320GB HDD (3rd from bottom) for £88.. thats a fucking steal! Hope this helps
Get yourself an X800. Amazing cards!! If you can get the X800 Pro (Musty be VIVO) you can flash the BIOS to unlock an extra 4 pipes...and you can clock it up beyond belief!! Mine goes like this...... WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH
gonna wait till nissan pay me i reckon and buy a few bits of kit, mobo cpu gfx and hdd i can wait a while im looking at those 512mb ati 1800xt's
Stick with Nvidia m8.. the ATI catalyst drivers are terrible IMO.. plus the 512 7800GTX is a better card by a mile. The 1800xt is a newer card but ati had major issues developing it. If your gonna get a CPU then go for an opteron 144/146 if your ok with overclocking. Stock speeds are 1.8Ghz but these chips have been known to hit upwards of 2.8Ghz on air. Thats faster than a £750 fx-57 and for only a bit more than £100! You'll need decent ram though. If your not too happy bout over clocking then try and get a san diego core 939 chip such as a 3700. These chips have a better memory controller and run SSE3 Instruction sets, and therefore run more efficiently and disperse less heat. For motherboards.. go for an SLI compatible NF4 board.. I know the DFI boards are meant to be cracking. If you wanna stick with your current card so you can save a bit more cash after buying a cpu and mb then get the Asrock Dual 939 board.. it offers both AGP and PCI-e slots running on a process known as ULI. It offers support for SATA 2 HDDs and all 939 based CPUs. Its a canny overclocker too. Oh and it offers an expansion card on which it will be possible to upgrade to socket M cpus, whi9ch will be released in the summer. All for ~ £46. Personally at the end of Jan I'm picking up the asrock board, a 393 146, a massive HSF and 2GB corsair XMS platinum 2. Oh and 2 250GB Hitachi Deskstars. Then for the raptor drives
aye cheers bud, ill look into those parts when i get ample readies, need to buy a 42in tele first to be honest i wont be touching any asrock equipment, ill be getting a dfi or asus board
I know that Asrock are shite.. the netto of motherboard brands. But even Custom PC rated this board at 88%..
