Thinking of upgrading to GeForce 7600GS for SHIV

Can you get a 7900GS in AGP? I thought the maximum was 7800GS under AGP limitaions.

Okay folks, you convinced me.

I'll cough up for the 7800. I wouldn't normally but the fact that I can use my 6800 as a gift for my brother makes it two birds with one stone. :p

I just want to be set well for SHIV. High-detail or not, as with SHIII - it's my benchmark game and my daily gaming bread so to speak. The 6800 served me well for two and a half years and all through SHIII, but I think SHIV needs a little better.

The reason you want the 7800 is DDr3 ram, much faster than the DDR2 in the 7600GS. (And better clock speed, etc, too)

i've ordered from newegg..soooo many times..that the last time i checked my order history there..it was reaching 8 pages

i have never..ever had a single problem with newegg..there customer service is by the best i have encountered..and the two times i had to RMA something..both times..they gave me a brand new item right away....one was a MOBO..that was 11 months old..the other was a HD that was 5 months old..they usually warranty there items for 1 year unless otherwise stated..plus the manufacter's warranty of course

i've ordered every kind of item from there..it's where i get just about all of my computer parts for me..and my friends..unless its a absolute emergency of course

you will have no problems from there CCIP
