So before you get talked into thinking AGP is useless now that PCI-Express is here, and you need to rebulid your system to run the latest games, think again! A high end AGP card with the latest drivers will revitalize even the oldest of 1.5 - 2 Ghz systems
I'm running HL2 in 1280X1024 with everything on maximum and its silky smooth.

Excellent X5Jones! Nice, isn't it?
I've always prefered the NVidia cards myself. Much better driver support. That GeForce 7800 I got really made a difference for me too. I'll probably be able to go at least another year on my 1.5 year old 8x AGP box.
