Looking to upgrade one last time before jumping tp PCI down the road. HL2 addict. Anyone have ideas regarding ATI X850 or Nvidia AGP?

 
Translation: I am looking for a suitable AGP video card to play Source engine based games with. I will be migrating to PCI Express in the future, so this will be my final purchase of an AGP card. Does anyone have advice regarding the ATi X850 series or a comparable nVidia graphics card?

😀

Budget (so we know what to recommend) and the rest of your system specs (CPU/RAM/other games you play) please? 🙂

Thanks for the chop on my grammar there MERC. Brevity is no longer key? Good job though on the interpretation and the word-smithing.

$250 Budget (that's US dollars)

ASUS K8N nForce3 w/AMD 3000+
CORSAIR XMS 1GB (2 x 512MB)
ATI RADEON 9600 128
Dual 40GB Maxtor DiamondMAX (No RAID)
 
you missed the Microcenter's x850xt for $200 . . . it ran the entire month of January.

Slightly faster is the 7800GS - $307 at MWave

and there is a thread in Hot Deals for a $179 [i think] 6800GS

that's about it for top cards in AGP.
