AGP 1950pro compatibility???

[bloodline76]

I have decided to get one last AGP and would like to know if its compatiable?

My System

Asus K8VSE Deluxe
AMD 64 3400+ 754
Antec True Power 550W (Suggest a replacement?)
1g Corsair XMS4400pt (another gig in post)

Please advise if it will run ok with system and which 1950pro to get as they all look the same to me.

Thanks

x1950pro will run fine on all that, really depends on how much your willing to spend on one i guess, the best will be the HIS ICEQ3 SILENT Turbo 512mb one, its clocked higher, and the silent cooler is a cracker, or if you don't want to spend that much then get that same card but in 256mb flavour as its in the 'The This Week Only'.

You'll probably find this thread usefull also.

Is there much difference between the two?

Is it worth the extra £50?

thanks

Not much differnce between the 2x at all, if your playing in 1280x1024 they'll perform exctly the same, only at higher resolutions does the extra 256mb of memory that the 512mb has will come into play, and even then its not that much, maybe 5 frames or so faster, depends on what res you game at really.

But for the extra like £30 is it more future proof? (If such a term exists anymore with pcs lol)

I was woundering the same because surely 256mb extra ram to manufacture shouldnt make it cost 30+ more compared to 256mb. Rams not that expensive lol as sapphire shows.
