Hiya, not bothered to upgrade my gfx last 2 upgrades, & trusty old 9700pro has been doing good service for coming up to 3 yrs now 
However, my system is loads quick enough for day to day stuff, but some of the latest games I'm starting to struggle a bit with running decent settings. So, looking to buy an AGP card now & then I won't need to upgrade anything else for another 2yrs.
Trouble is I'm a bit out of date with whats what. Is this the best bang for buck AGP gfx card right now...
