The dustbin in belongs in is worth more money.

 

[PhireSide]

Not too much. Biostar were pretty cool back in the day. The 6800 too...I lusted after a 6800 Ultra, but I could only afford a 6600GT

haha well atleast i didnt pay for it the motherboard seems to be a Gigabyte GA-7N400E AGP 8X with a AMD Athlon XP 400MHz processor and 2 512MB DDR400 RAM cards

it obviously has no sata ports but it could be added as theres 2 empty sata slots stated on the board

 

[Pandam0nium]

everything is still in perfect working condition though ....

Not worth anything.

You need spend around 3k if you would like game at 1080p.

Is that a PCI-E or AGP GPU?

AGP according to the model#.

Would be perfect for something I am busy with....

lol.

Way over estimated there. A casual can game at 1080p with R2k.

I'm playing with a HD 4870 ...
Mostly GW2 though, so the requirements are pretty low.

But, when the time comes for an upgrade, then I will have to fork out a bit more money, as it would probably be EVERYTHING that needs replacement.

It's sometimes nice to look back at some of your old kit. I remember my awe at the size of my new 9800GTX+ compared to the 6600GT. I had to temporarily substitute power to it via a old 240W AT PSU I had lying around since the 450W I had in there could not cope.

Obviously depends on your budget, but if you don't mind lowering settings.

I wouldn't go lower than:
