Hi folks. I happen been on these forums in a long time. Heck had to create a new login cuz i forgot the old one. I used to be on top of what hardware was the best and what gave the best performance per price out there. I've lost touch since getting married and have come back to my old stomping grounds for some advice.
I'm upgrading my pc a bit and looking to replace my video card as priority one. My current system specs are as follows. Xp2100+ oc'd to 175X13, 1gig Mushkin hi-perf. DDR400 running dual channel on an Asus A7n8X Rev. 2.0. ATI Radeon 9500 pro with warp11 bios and slightly oc'd. Dual WD800JB HDD's. All powered by an Antec Truepower440 PSU.
What I am looking to get is the best possible graphics for my gaming (World of Warcraft)., with some overclockability to alleviate the need to replace the card for at least a year. Now the tough part.... I would like to spend less than $200 for it. I have been an ATI fan for quite some time, but would be willing to go with an Nvidia. Also, I'm clueless about whether AGP is still the way to go or if the PCI express is better.
Thank you in advance for spending the time reading this long post and offering up your advice.

welcome back, the BFG 6800gs AGP is more than enough for WOW and should hold you over for a year, i won't get into the AGP or PCIe thingy it's been a very "sensitive" subject around here lately.
