    Unlocking x800gto AGP

    Hi guys, I'm a noob, and I've heard of unlocking the x800gto from 12 to 16 pipes. My question is what are the risks and benefits of doing so? I'm reluctant to fry my new vid card as it's my first ever true gaming card, so some help would be appreciated. Also, it seems to idle very hot at...

    HDTV with X1600Pro AGP vs X800(GTO) AGP

    I'm looking into buying a new AGP video card, and have narrowed the field down to $100-150 and either the x1600pro or the x800gto. I am convinced of x800gto's game playing ability, even though I'm concerned about it's potential longevity since it has no SM3.0 support. The last bit that is...
