So i'm debating on upgrading my XFX 7800GS OC to a shiny new HD 3850 AGP... Now I know the whole get PCIE arguments and such, but my computer is pretty decent, and does have dual CPUs... I just was wondering if you feel the 3850 would be bottlenecked on this system or not, and what the best version of the 3850 is. I'm also thinking about splurging and getting 2 more GB of RAM. If I up the GFX I should get another cupple years worth of gaming outta this rig right?? (I'm also poor thanks to school so a complete rebuild wont be happening soon.)
