AGP/PCI Graphics Solution for ~$155

[Commodore80]

Im looking for an AGP or PCI-E Graphic Card Solution for around $155.

I prefer AGP, so i do not have to get a new motherboard and processor and all that good stuff.

This is my rig atm:

2.4GHZ 3400+ AMD Athlon 64 Processor
1GB 400MHZ RAM
160GB 7200RPM WD Caviar HDD
128MB 6800 (Leadtek A400TDH i believe)
Chaintech VNF3-250 Motherboard

Im looking to upgrade the graphics card a bit for my CS:S/BF2/Guild Wars gaming needs.

I REALLY Prefer AGP, in which my budget is around ~$160.
I dont know whether to go GDDR3 or GDDR2 and should i get a 512mb card or 256mb card, lots of variables here for my AGP.

I prefer not to go PCI, because then ill need a new vid card, and ill probably end up getting a new Processor (the 3400 is a Socket 754), but if i absolutely must, then I can spend around ~$120 on the PCI Video card AT MOST.

Id like a reccomendation on the AGP card, but if the PCI is economically more suitable for my situation, ill take it.

Thanks, Commodore

If that's as good as your going to get for $150 or so, you aren't going to be able to upgrade. A X800GTO or 6800GS is not going to be much of an upgrade from a 6800...

If you want to upgrade, you're going to have to spend another $100 or so and go for something like this:

or start saving for a new build.
