AGP Card Recommendation

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.mainboard.gigabyte (More info?)

I currently have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb agp video card and would
like to know what would be one to steps up in quality with the same chipset?
I want to start playing a few video games and think I need a bit more speed.
I also may want to overclock the card.

Current Setup:

GA-7N400 PRO2
AMD Athlon XP 3000+ Barton 333MHZ fsb chip
Two Kingston HyperX 512mb 184pin DDR 333 (pc 2700) Unbuffered memory
Saphire Radeon 9600 Pro 256mb
19" Polyview Flat Panel
Soundblaster Audigy2
160 gb Maxtor Drive
DVD +R-R
DVD ROM
Multi Card Reader -- Internal
Windows XP-HOME SP2

And let me add that it plays games very nicely too. I haven't tried
overclocking this card, but its predecessor was an all in wonder 9800 Pro
which overclocked really well.

Yes the 9800 pro was good card too. I was extremely happy with it.
