I have a new system on the horizon but Im thinking of getting a new card for my current machine, just to prolong its life for a bit.
Its an Agp slot so Im kinda limited
The machine is a 2.8g P4, with 1 gig of ram, and about the best card I can find at my supplier here in Australia is a
Nvidia 7600GS 512 MB DDR2 AGP Video Card
Its a resonable price at $228 dollars AUD
What do you guys think of this card and should I be able to run the game ok on this machine with this card ?
also is it worth the extra ram the 256 version is even cheaper...at $169...

Have a look on Ebay, you might be able to get a better deal. Extra ram on the card never hurts, You just have to realize that other parts of the machine may cause bottle necks to appear. An extra gig in RAM maybe a good idea.
I have heard rumors that Nvidia is going to release their 8xxx card in AGP. This will enable older machines to run DX10 and Vista. If this is true, it would take the mantle of most powerful AGP card out there.
