I disagree with the fact that they place the GeForce58x & 59x in highend. If the 6600GT is mainstream, even more so the 5 series

It depends on the brand really, and what components they used for memory etc.
Some brands use really cheap memory on the cards that won't operate very well at higher clock speeds.
The only way to know is to try.
me also ATi fanI am realy in two minds on what to get
I have a Radeon9800Pro that have served me good over the years and I can still play the most recent games @ 1024@768 at medium settings.
So if someone in the know could please help me decide by possibly backing up their statements with some evidence.\\
I am capped now so no use in googling it

That is unfortunately very true.WiseCrack said:Yeah but the X850XT on the xtreme website only comes in PCI
I have seen some AGP flavours from the dealers but damn, they are expensive! I guess it is because they are no longer being manufactured or something. I am buying whole new system, so this is perfect for me. I'm saving like R1300 on this deal!

which will probably buy you another Gig RAM. No reason to be saving, you were willing to spend that in the first place, so...just do it (apologies to Nike)eye_suc said:
