Supposedly, nVidia will not release an agp version of the 7800GTX. So if you only have an agp board and want to upgrade no matter what, I'd say you'll need a new board/setup. But w/ a 6800 Ultra, you're not handicapped so I really wouldn't be worried. If you must upgrade and you're swimming in loot, go for it.

He's right. There's really no need to upgrade, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket. If you have, just give it to me :D.

I can tell you one thing. I seriously want to see Unreal Tournament 2007. I want to get a dual core CPU next year, a Geforce 8 (coming summer 2006) and a Physics Processing Unit (not out yet I believe).
If you wanted to do the same, maybe just replace the CPU. I read that the Geforce 6200 and ATI 9800 should be able to play UT2007. I don't know how the 6200 could manage that because it can barely handle games like Doom3 etc now. With your 6800, you should be able to play games until next year. (use Bizrate or shopping.com or pricegrabber.com or .ca to find good prices)
