Mine always reports my card at 4x AGP, when I know full well that it's an 8x card. I know this is the wrong area to be bringing up a technical issue, but I felt that nature of the thread semi-warranted it.

SiS 128MB. Bad choice- Framerates are good but it renders weird..
I am thinking about the Radeon 9700 pro or the GeForce mentioned above..

Dude, you should check out newegg. Today they're doing a sale for Sapphire 9800 Pro - $219. Fuckin' 219 for a 9800 Pro. I know it's not the XT, but believe me, the scores are relatively close, and for that price, you'd be insane not to at least look at it.

ya win some ya lose some guy. The 9600 Pro is still a decent card, though. It'll run most modern and future games really well, so don't fret. However, it probably lacks in the old benchmarking department, but that's not the biggest deal in the world.

Yeah, NewEgg does sell 5900 non-Ultras. There's one there for $209 right now.
You're probably thinking about the 9800 non-Pros, but they're inferior to the 5900 non-Ultra, so it doesn't really matter.-Lasereth

Radeon 9700 Pro. Unfortunately it's hobbled by a 1.33 Tbird right now, but I aim to rectify that within a couple of months with a new Athlon 64 system. I could go ahead and get a 9800XT with the new system, but I think it's probably wiser to just keep the 9700 Pro for now, and spend the money on the next-gen ATI card when it comes out.

A Radeon 8500. The original 64Mb one.
I know its pretty old, but it sure as hell still runs every game I can throw at it at 1024x768 (which is the native resolution of my monitor, so it cant go any higher). I have yet to find a game that it couldnt handle. Im planning on building a new machine this summer. I will upgrade it then.

nvidia GeForce 420 32 MB.
Came preinstalled on my new laptop. Seeing as I take my laptop everywhere, it's pretty good for what I need it for.
