Ah, don't bother looking for an AGP 7XXX series card. There is one, I think 
a 7800GS, but it's way overpriced.

Hi Hayes,

IIRC, I did look for those, but could not find an AGP one for sale 
anywhere.
That link is for PCI-E.  I'll look some more.

Thanks,
Bobby

Get a 7600GT. Gigabyte makes one that runs off heatpipes with no fan and 
got

good reviews. They are around $160-$180
