Upgrade to 7800GS advice...
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I currently have a Dell 4600 Dimension with 3.06 Intel (boo) ghz and 2gb ram with a GeForce 6600 (the cheap Chaintech). I was given this computer minus the video card. I play a lot of games during downtime at work and so far I have been satisfied.
I am thinking about buying the eVGA 7800GS AGP card for this machine and was wondering if it will be a big boost from the 6600. I do not plan on going to PCI-E until mid next year and that is why I am thinking about buying this card (AGP is dead I know).
I can't find much info online about comparing a 6600 vs. 7800GS so everyone's input on this would be cool.
The 7800GS goes for $270.00 now.

I am happy with the 6600 for normal gaming but I want to enjoy AA, etc. Thanks for the reply. I think I will get it. After it ages I will frame it on a wall as being the last great AGP card.
I also bought a Zalman Fata1ity VGA cooler, so overclocking will be fun!
Anyone know what type of O/C I can squeeze out of this thing?
Oh I did upgrade the PSU to a 450W, the Dell came with a 250W when I got it! (GAG)
