I want to buy a good video card

I think I need a mid-class video card, for work with 3DMAX
only a budget around US$350 ...

Researching from many articles ...
AGP: FX5900XT softmod Quadro FX3000 <<<< so attractive to me~.~"
PCI-E: 6600GT / Quadro FX540 ... ... <<<< but PCI-E for the future ...

hard to make choice ...

any news for PCI-E video card softmod??

million THX
 
Actually, I'm going to buy a new set

either s478 + i875 + AGP or s775 + i915 + PCI-E

My choice ... now ... depends on the video card~.~"
 
For midrange I think an nvidia PCI-E card word work for you. I'm not too impressed by x600 or x300 benchmarks. Maybe wait for x700? PCI-E is definitely the route to take though, for future upgrading. If you get a board that supports SLI, you could even upgrade by getting a 2nd video card, which would be neat and probably pretty cheap down the road.
