Might be a good idea to post the specifics about your system. That would help narrow down the options for you.

Strictly technically speaking the X850XTPE is the best 256 meg AGP card available. But is it the best one for your needs? That remains to be seen

X1600 sucks compared to the X850XT (PE)

I just ordered the 256MB X1600PRO AGP from Newegg for only $129.00 US. Looks like a great upgrade for me from my 9600XT.

Depending on your budget, this may be a good upgrade for you until you can get to PCI-E.

I also purchased the X1600 AGP from newegg for $130,i upgraded from 9600 AIW pro and i am very pleased with this card image quality much better,i use mine for HTPC not that much of a gamer,but all games i do play shows big improvment in IQ and FPS.

Thanks bud

Just ordered it I'm a bit pissed this is the only place that does the AGP version.
I think the online stores forget that there are still motherboards out there with AGP on and not the PCI-EX. What are they playing at trying to make people have to buy new motherboards.

are well its on its way any how once again bud thanks agian.

With me haveing the latest Drivers ( ATI Radeon 9700 pro) already installed is it ok to just pop in the new card?

or would it be better to install them again when i get the card?

Big thanks for the help guys

g35x · Mar 7, 2006, 01:30 PM

use drivercleaner and install the latest drivers from ati.com (or omegas if you prefer)

TaWasNe · Mar 8, 2006, 02:23 AM

Does any one know where the link is for the ATI screensavers are on there site?

I have a few for the 9700 pro but the link i had for them has changed now.

thanks for any help guys
