Aging AGP solution

[MoD_Callidus]

Hi guys

I've convinced my gf to remove her 9800 AIW as she has never used any of it's functions and I expect she'll get around £40 ish give or take, with this I'd like to get a replacement AGP card to fit in alongside her XP2800+ and 1 gig ram I can either grab a cheap 5900 ultra for around £25 or maybe try and get the 9800XT for £40-50 now given she uses her rig mainly for ebay etc and I hop on for the occaisional game of JK2 and RTCW etc in fact most recent game we have is Far Cry.

What say ye great god's of bit's and bobs ?

It's defo not a PRO it's only got 4 pipes enabled which trust me makes a hell of a difference I've looked around a few benchmark sites and the 9600xt was faster than the 9800se. the reason for selling is simple we can buy a part which performs the same functions with better results ( bearing in mind we don't use AIW functions at all ) and actually make something on it. hell if you could sell your cpu and buy a replacement cpu + make £10 on it it's be worthwhile wouldn't it ?

as I say on games such as JK2 and RTCW there may be no difference ( but AFIK NV's were better on GL gfx based games anywho ) plus with an additional 4 pipes open farcray won't drag it's a$$ any more, I'm not looking for an answer to a moral dilema such as should I - shouldn't I sell merely what's a better outlay of the funds I get when I do sel. of course anyone wishes to offer me a 6800gt for £40 notes to settle this debate please feel free
