AGP graphic card

Don't forget to put 2GB of inexpensive Ram to help that 512mb vid card along. Ram is a cheap upgrade.

Just curious. Is that P4 cpu a hyper thread ? And you could OC it to 3.0 easy without fear.

Thanks for all the help! What Do you think about the ATI 3650? I could get it (Germany) for 45€, whereas the 3850 - IIRC the "best" AGP card still around would cost me 80€. Is is worth it? For a graphic card that I will replace sometime near in the future? I know, answer impossible

The 7600gt agp I could get for 60€ which would nicely be in between, is the efficiency also just in between the ati 3650 and the 3850?

FIREWALL: No idea what a hyper thread is, I come from a Mac background. Where could I check for this?

I'm running an ASUS AH3450 512 (yes, AGP) with a 2.4 GHz dual core processor with 3 gigs of ram and it runs SH4 with all the settings on and up (other than volumetric fog) at 25 fps-ish. It's not bad. so if the card you are getting is better than the card I have now, you should have no problem with a machine that matches/exceeds the specs on mine.
