Few questions before I put this in.
ATI RADEON X1300 AGP
600MHz vpu
450MHz
150 MHz overclocked = 600 MHz
DX 9
Shadmod 3.0

Upgraded from a GF FX 5900 Ultra

Would it be advisable to change the stock fan with another or is what comes with it ok?

I hear people talking about upgrading their power source. Is this something I should look into or is stock ok? What should the powersource be anyway?

I mainly bought this as an upgrade for gaming over the next few years, is this a pretty good card to have (or go back and get the x1600 L O L)? I would imagine oblivion should play pretty well?


Thanks for the help.
 
1. Stock fan will be fine for X1300.
2. Unless you're having problems with your current power supply, or unless your power supply is rated at less than 300W, I'd stick with the one you've got.
3. No, it's not a good gaming card. The X1600 is a significant step up from the X1300, and the X1600PRO would be the absolute minimum I'd get for an upgrade. Since you can get them at Newegg for $100, they're a really good deal right now. Or if you feel like spending $150, you could get the AGP 7600GT. Oblivion will not play pretty well with an X1300, and in a year, I would guess virtually all new computer games will not be able to run on it at all.
 
Thanks for the reply PWMK2.

So my best bet would be to go with the AGP 7600? Been looking for something around the $150-$200 (rather in the middle) range.
Boy its been pretty difficult to find something with the potential for running the next few years vrs midrange price (AGP that is).
The 7600 looks the best for my price range in your opinion?

Also is this the one your were referring to? Cant seem to find one that price AGP.

REALLY thanks the help!!!
 
Yeah, AGP is going down, unfortunately. Pain in the butt since I love AGP and my current rig is AGP, but that's OK. 7600GT will definitely buy you a couple more years of play time. :)

edit: Yes, I was referring to the Leadtek. I remembered the card's price incorrectly by $20... :(
