Hey,

I currently have an x800XTAGP and 1GB ram, a venice at 2.75GHZ.

Is it worth me ditching the board I have, and grabbing an 1800XT 256MB of ram, its mostly for elderscrolls and co. I play at 1280 or higher typically.

I was planning on grabbing the x1800XT now, and then grabbing the PCI board next week thursday or friday. I only have a standard PSU though, and I dont have the PCI express compatibale connections. Is this something to really worry about? or do I need to buy one of these also? lastly how much of a boost will I get from my current x800XT? it is clocked at about 540/540 at the moment.
 
So I should grab a 4 to 6 pin converter, as well as the 20 to 24 pin converter?

Lastly, I looked at a few sites and it seems that although the 7800GT is a lovely card, the x1800 beats it by about 10 - 15 percent... so its worth the extra bit of cash?
 
Hmmm,

I was doing a bit more searching around... it seems that the 7900GT always slightly beats the x1800XT, especially the 256MB of ram version... I am thinking it may be worth waiting a week or so and seeing what happens with the stock levels on the nvidia cards. At the least I can buy the motherboard and the graphics card at the same time, in case I need to RMA something...

Anyone convice me otherwise?
