I just upgraded from the same card to a Sapphire X800 GTO 256 mb of gddr3
agp card and I LOVE it!!!!!
check out newegg.com for my card.
 
Hi and thanks for the recommendation.
What is the difference between the gto and the 800xl's?
 
Not sure,
I do know that the GTO is an "O"verclocked "GT". As for the specs for the
XT's I didn't really check those cards out much..... I have an MSI K7N2
Delta ILSR and only did searches for AGP cards and went up thru the ranks
from 6600's to 6800's for Nvidia <7800's do not support AGP> And ATI's 800's
as the 850's dont do AGP either. I'm guessing that the XT's are PCI-E only
cause I didn't find any to reference.
Do a search in multiple windows for the different cards to see the
difference in pipes, GPU and Vram timings, that's what I did to get the best
bang for the buck.
Although, now I'm thinking of upgrading my mobo and cpu anyways, so, I
shoulda just went with a PCI-E and held it.... ehhhh, na, this card rocks,
now I'll save up for my ASrock mobo with agp/pci-e and a 64 4000, or maybe a
DC processor..... man........... so many decisions right now...... I
remember when you just had to buy a faster processor, faster ram.... and a
better video card. not choose between 3,4,5 different cpu's, cpu interfaces,
ram, and video cards.

I've seen benches where that dual video port asrock is about 5% slower than
the nf4 pcie boards with equal cpu's, cant remember where but found it when
googling that board.
