Cason that's a bit too big. There is a small plug on the card if a person wanted to attach a small fan, but I can't seem to find one that big enough but not too big. I've got maybe 2 inches of room until it hits my tv tuner card.

Check my editted post.
Well thanks for proving me wrong in such an angrely manner.

I'm going to have to learn more about this stuff :P
An hour ago there was 3 pages an hour before that 2 pages  :lol: stop posting spam.

Here is the best bang for your buck for an AGP card and also the best AGP card out there and Mul happened to recomend the same thing.

Well its a possibility, I never said it would work work. You could probably do a bit of modding on it :lol:

I need to get rid of my 9800Pro.... But I don't think I'll find any kind of card that will fit with my system. Old CPU AMD Athlon Barton XP 3200+ @ 2.2GHz....

Same problem here. I have an Athlon 3000+ @ 1,8GHZ, VIA vt8237, 1GB DDR400 RAM. Does it make sense to invest into an upgrade from an AGP 9800pro 128mb to a x1600, x850 or a 7600?
Or will the system somehow restrict a new graphics card?

Thanks :lol:

Alex, is that 3000+ an A64 chip? If so, I'd recommend the same 7600GT that was mentioned earlier in this thread. I have one sitting by me, just haven't gotten around to installing it yet.
