My PC is older than sin (going on 5 years now), but I don't have the cash to replace the whole thing right now. It's a Celeron 700ish (633 overclocked a bit), 384meg RAM, and a Radeon 7200 video card.
Now, I can get a very sweet deal on a new ATI card through work, so I'm thinking of upgrading to a video card that can actually play this year's games. However, my ASUS mobo is AGP 2x, no PCI-E for me. If all goes well, I will be rebuilding or massively upgrading my system sometime mid-next-year-ish.
So I'm wondering if it's worth my while to buy an AGP card now (eg. a 9800) and then pop it into the new system next year, or if an AGP mobo is going to be completely outdated and/or really hard to find by then. In that case, I guess I'd suck it up and hold off hardware purchases until I can rebuild the whole system properly.
