My aging Radeon 9600 Pro is starting to show it's age although it has served me well for years.

Looking at getting something new but not sure. A few requirements are:

- Price no more than $175
- MUST be AGP
- Would like something I can get a year or two out of

Was looking at the Radeon X800 series or the X1600 series but can't find the X800 at decent prices.

Any ideas?

An agp 6800gs is over $200 still.
for under $175 agp your looking at:
x1600pro ~$120

6800nu ~$150
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814140067

Or look for a USED/Refurb. agp x800pro, x800xl, x850pro for $175.
or USED agp x800xt or x850xt for ~$200+
I scored a USED AGP x800xt from the [H] forums for $200 a few months ago.


AGP 6800gs ~$230

Do you think those cards would be a good choice considering my case is an Antec Aria with a 300W PS in it?

Both cards look to be a decent price. I also found a 6800 for about $160 that had 512mb on it but it was only a 128bit interface with 12 pipes.

The PS question is really only the last thing I am worried about. I'd love to play COD2 in 1280 x 1024.
 
Hey thanks for the advice. I just picked up that Apollo card of the refurb section of NewEgg for $117!
