Dinosaur's? Hm, I think some of my systems pre-date even those 
lizards! LOL! Way too much tech confusion in the market now for 
me. Not done with AGP yet either.

AGP or PCI-E???
6600GT's can be had for around a hundred or so.
Best bang for the buck until you can go 7800 or 7900 series.
Doom3 looks real good on mine.

still on the fence to upgrade system do to $$$ :-o

running a fx5900 (128 meg) on a 3200 barton with 2 gig of pc3200. system
seems fine just looking to maybe play some newer games on the cheap. :'(

looking at a 6200le for $50 ( 256 meg )

waste of time ? or possibly worth it in the short run ?
of course a 7800gt would be nice.
thanks

I know, I may regret it but Mark got me thinking for $50 more and I said WTF. 
Ordered a 7600GS and opted for the 512 meg version. It is Xmass after all :-}
Tired of the same old games, COD, MOH, Wolfenstein, Doom. Time for some new 
demos even though I do like COD and MOH.
I will 3dmark b4 and after

now watch my MB blow caps :'(
thanks
