not sure if my agp slot is shot or the motherboard its self, and as i have both agp and pci-e i thought id get a pcie gfx card first.

So what is the pcie equivilant?

well, that would be the x800xtpe pcie, surely? it's not the one id go for, but it's the equivalent lol
 
Is the ATI X1950 cards the latest Generation ?

if so, then i heard you need a powerful PSU, I got a Akasa Paxpower 460W

not sure if it will work?

my CPU is a SKT 939 3000+ Venice

If it is PCI-E then id get this HIS ICEQ3 x1950pro , absolutely cracking card, and the price is a steal, much better card. :)

done a lot of searching, that one seems quite and quite fast!
the only other one i would compare it to is the X1900-XT which seems to be faster for what i have seen, and the same price (if you can find it)

so, what do you think of these two ?

HIS Radeon X1950 PRO 256Mb Vs Connect 3D Radeon X1900 XT 256Mb

both around £140 / £150

thoughts?

Both are great cards. The X1900XT is slightly faster, but the X1950Pro uses a fair bit less power (so if you have a lower end PSU it would be the wiser choice) & the X1950Pro also has a better cooler.
