AGP cards are going obsolete already, I'd invest in a PCI-Express card if you can afford one. Although it does require a motherboard with pci-e slots.

I suggest you wait, and just suffer low quality, till you got the money at least

wait till after Jan if u want to buy something new since vista officaly comin out on pcs so they will have to throw out the old ones lol so just buy one at the end of jan like before the 28

Yeah, because he obviously has extra resources (and as stated - money) to spare using a PC that predates PCIe running Vista. He wants to increase performance; not decrease.

I'm not sure I see your point anyway. Do you think Windows XP fails to work in January? Or do you think Windows Vista will become more widespread in less than a year?

I vote against using vista till after one year of official release to the public. Only for security reasons.

I honestly could care less about vista at the moment.

I use a Nvidia Geforce FX 5500 AGP 256 MB, perfect graphics card (well for me) runs source, medieval 2 pretty good but BF2 is only O.K.

im just saying it will be better.. trust me dealers won't sell pcs with xp anymore + if u get a PCIe card and run it on vista u will be able to play like every single game cuz u know it will include directX 10, so wait for a bit after jan when vista will be released v-cards companies will start releasin the cards that run with only directX 10 or higher they will be sick..

So you want him to get a new operating system, motherboard and graphics card, when he has already stated he can't afford a new motherboard - and doesn't want to wait either for that matter? I can see why you were banned. DX10 cards were released in November of this year.

I do trust you, because you obviously seem to have extensive experience with these matters and have probably used Vista for months like I have. Having said that, I still haven't decided whether to purchase XP or Vista in the coming weeks. Application (in)compatability is a pain.
