"Best AGP Graphics money can buy."

Could anyone tell me what the best AGP graphics card is please?
Also does anyone know if there are clear side panels available for 'Mesh' midi tower cases?

Thanks.

oh dear.
On the homepage, just download "Latest Catalyst drivers with control panel"

Sweet.

Grab an X800XT PE.

Alastair - I have a P4 3.0GHz with 1 GB of RAM.
I currently have a GeForce 5700 LE.

Thanks everyone.

Well yeah, I clicked on Radeon before but some fat list came up and I had no idea what it was about...wanted to make sure before I downloaded it :P

Let me simplify, while at the same time not give *too* much away:

You have: RADEON X700

4 options:

RADEON
RAGE
RAGE
RAGE


Hmmmm, what a dilemma.

Ahaha. Take an educated guess?

Tried to go on their site for the update but I don't understand nothing :/ Under what category would the Radeon X700 Pro come under:

RADEON Family
RAGE 128 PRO Family
RAGE 128 Family
RAGE PRO Family

???

I'm running an X800Pro VIVO @ XT using a 360W PSU with no prolems what so ever. The X-series cards use the same ammount of power as the 9xxx series so there shouldn't be a problem. As for the 6800's, you should be just about OK with the GT or Standard but the Ultras require a HUGE amount of power and I've seen reccomended, at least a 450W PSU!

BTW, best AGP atm, X800Pro VIVO (Pref ASUS) unlocked and OC'd to XT. Nice card and save suome pennies at the same time.

I spent £105 on the PSU for my unit, wouldn't risk it after some stories I read.

I wouldn't go any lower than a 420 if you are getting a card like that to be honest, purely because you don't buy cards like that unless you have the CPU and RAM to allow you to benefit from what it has to offer.

What is the rest of your system like?
