Help me find a replacement AGP card

[lordrobs]

Hi all, I'm in need of some help. I've been out of the PC game for a LONG time but I now need to give my PC a little boost.

Basically I want to make LFS look a bit prettier on my system.

Current specs are- Barton 2500 (clocked to 3200 speed), 1GB Geil PC3200, Asus A7N8X Deluxe mobo and ATi 9800SE which won't softmod due to damaged pipelines.

Basically looking to spend £80 max (less is good ) all in to replace the 9800SE. New or second hand is fine.

LFS is all I play on my pc, but maybe will try R-Factor at some point.

Any help appreciated.

Look for a second hand 6800GT/Ultra's, nice cards for what your thinking of.

Cheers, will keep an eye out for one. What about an X800?

X800's are a good choice as well. Also see if you can find a cheap 6800gs which is another decent card. There's also the 6800 (le?) that unlocks as well.

I'm a bit wary of unlocking cards after buying my 9800SE, choosing the one with the highest unlock success rate... then finding I had damaged pipelines

Would an LE be a decent upgrade anyway even if it didn't unlock?
