Upgrade 9800 pro to ???
For my computer listed below, what's a good video card for better gaming?
My 2500 is overclocked to 2.1 GHz. I'm confused as to what will work with my MB and CPU.

What is your budget? You will need an AGP card. That rules out many of the newest cards which are PCI-E. The 6800 GS would probably be the best AGP card you can get and it would be a significant upgrade from the 9800 Pro. That is, of course, if it is within your budget.

Either a X850XT PE or a 6800GS would be your highest performing AGP cards.

Either of the above mentioned would be great. An AGP X800XL would be good too, but theyre getting hard to find these days.
