Gah!!!...vid card/MB compatibility

of all of those i would recommend the x800GT0, its the most powerful of the bunch, are you trying to not go higher then $130? i wouldn't worry about compatibility problems unless you've had them in the past



check this out, it will likely help http://www.tomshardware.com/2006/1 [...] page4.html

the system flickers. is this only been with your current video card or previous ones as well? it might be your PSU crapping out on you. the AGP 2 is just a revision, and all AGP cards are backwards compatible and 4x AGP will be fine for most AGP cards.

what is your system build btw? especially your PSU.

if you want, if your budget can go for it core 2's are really nice. but ya 180 watts..... that would be your problem. thats really on the low end. look around toms just posted an article about video cards, and its good for a reference. you could pick up a new card and PSU if you want. but AGP is going away. now would be a good time to upgrade (if you dont mind ram prices being a bit insane, but they should be back down around christmas) lower end AM2's (dual cores) are a good deal for the money, after that, again, if your budget allows you cant go wrong with a core duo 2
