Umm.. I'm going to get an agp one I want the ATI 9800 pro with 256 mb ram.. But, for the time being my supervisor is going to sell me a 8500 pro for $40 so I'll settle without the pci at all and just go straight to agp

Just get the 9800 pro 128, you're really not getting much for that extra 100$ or however much it is.

True, But I still want the bigger and badder version of it.. But when I finally get the money to buy it I'll have dropped in price

I forgot to mention my current specs.

Gigabyte GA-7VAX Mobo
Athlon 1.0 Ghz
256 MB DDR Ram
6 Gig HD
Some POS video card. Its only 4 megs But at least it can run Red Alert 2 at a good rate.

A few things came from my old comps. (video card and HD)

On the subject of overclocking. My mobo came with overclocking software that allows me to do it directly through Windows. (But I can still do it from Bios if I need to for some reason). And the mobo has an auto-shutoff if I go too high and I tried to OC it to see how much I could go to before it shut off and I think I oc'ed to 1.15 then it shut off. So I keep it at whatever rate I feel like. Name of the software I use/got is EasyTune 4 if anyone feels like trying it or whatever

566 Mhz Celeron
254 megs of ram PC100 (yeah, 254, for some reason my comp wont recognize one meg on each stick, when I only had a 64 in there it read as 63)
32 Meg ATI Radeon PCI
19 gig HDD
