You if you do it right!, if you are going to O/C a card you need to achieve BALANCE this is done by SLOWLY increasing MHz and VOLTS and most IMPORTANT COOLING but saying that the fans on most cards can Handel some O/C ing, but balance includes checking, checking and more checking this can take days but then to my mind the only way to O/C is to O/C the whole PC,- Motherboard, Graphics Card, CPU, anything that has Chip management, but back to your card, increase in stages of on more than 5 then test, SR 9600 256Mb will rip up say (Doom 3) without a lot of O/C, good luck Cybercat UK.

It depends on what your motherboard can take. I would recommend the following card:\n\nnVIDIA 7600GT\n\nYou can buy this online from £90-£120 and is a fantastic high end mid-range card. I personally have the PCI Express version which is much faster then it's AGP counterpart.\n\nDont just look at how much memory the card comes with. As some of the better cards come with less, but the memory technology is more modern and much faster - therefore the card performs better.

I had a 5200 and it was nice for limited gaming.  If you are into serious gaming like BF2 or FarCry or other graphics heavy applications.  You want to try to spend as much as possible on a great video card.  The nVidia 6800 with 256 Mb of memory is what I'm using now and I love it.  It's by no means a top of the line card only cost about $160, but it works for the games I mentioned great.  I have PCI-Express though and that may make a difference.  You can get great reviews on vid cards at www.tomshardware.com along with prices from tiger and zipzoomfly.

BFG GeForce 7800GS is about the best you will still find for AGP. It's time to start thinking of a PCI-e system.\n\nEdit:\nGalaxy brand?!? FX5500?!? Is this meant to be a joke?\n\nBFG has great product and customer support. The card I linked to is $213.77 shipped. Seriously though, it's time to start considering putting those funds towards a more current, ground up build.

There's no contest, dual or single core, the Athlon 64 is by far the best of the bunch. If you want the best, choose an AMD Athlon 64 in dual core formation.

Well sorry to say this but the 7800 GTX processor from nvidia isn't te best one. It was untill ATI released the new radeon 1900 processor. It's aprox 10% faster. But things aren't going to stop here. nVidia already announced the new 7900 GTX processor (to beat what ati has conquered :)). Tehnically speaking, there is no best video card looking at how computers delevop. If today this is the best one, tommorow voila, something better appears. \nAnd if you want a link with a card based on Radeon 1900 processor, well you could try it here:

Here's the best deal in AGP video cards at the moment: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102666  It will play any game out right now, including F.E.A.R., the game that makes most video cards cringe, at 1280x1024 resolution.  It will play almost any other new game out at that resolution or higher, with the "eye candy" turned up pretty far. Eye candy meaning full-screen Anti-Aliasing and Anisotropic Filtering (both of which make a considerable difference in how games look.\nI know, I bought one recently, and couldn't be happier.\n\nHere's the best deal I could find on a 6600GT, which isn't as fast as the X1600 Pro, if you're using AA and AF (the eye candy): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814133137

Probably the only place (online, anyway) in Europe that might have it: http://overclockers.co.uk/

The eVGA...\nUnless the PNY offers more overclocking options, as an increase in memory (especially in lower end cards) doesnt make a big difference

i highly recommend the asus version of the 1950pro it's at $164 and it'll blow the x850 out of the water! just relesed a couple of days ago. ill put a couple of links to reviews of the card below there arnt any reviews of the asus version that i can find but the sapphire and ATI one are basiclly the same thing only the cooler is different.\n\ncard:\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121031\n\nreviews\nhttp://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2858\nhttp://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7016\n\nsorry for the fragmented spelling, had to write this in a hurry.

Nvidia GeForce 7800, PCI-X, preferably with 512Mb of RAM. Very expensive, though.

The best AGP card would be a Nvidia 6600GT or 6800 video card.  6800 AGP cards are a bit rare but they do exist.  It's probably easier (and probably cheaper) to get a 6600GT, however.  These cards are a good choice because they support the latest graphic doo-hickeys like the latest shader version, DirectX 9, etc.\n\nPlease note that no ATI X-series (X300, X600, X700, X800, X1800) cards are available in AGP form except for one that exists for Apple Macs.  These cards are manufactured months to years in advance and ATI chose not to support AGP in favor of PCI-Express.
