First, thanks for taking the time to assist me :)
I have an AMD Athlon 64-bit (3200+) ~2GHz and 1GB of RAM. In World of Warcraft, I usually average about 30fps.
I'm not in the market to spend a lot of money, so I was wondering what a good AGP video card would be. I know that PCI-E is the newest and fastest technology, but my computer is about four years old and I don't want to replace the motherboard without upgrading the CPU.
I have an NVidia GeForce FX 5950 Ultra. If there isn't anything that would be a huge or significally better upgrade (since AGP isn't as common anymore), just let me know, as I don't want to spend $100+ for 5 more frames per second.
I'm not really good with what to look for with video cards, nor do I over-clock. If you would like to inform me of what matters the most with a video card, that would also be appricated.
Thanks again for your time,
Derek
What is one of the best and reasonably priced AGP video cards?
The XFX geforce 7600GT is the best AGP card available, in my opinion. It should be able to raise your framerates about 20 more than your current card.
EDIT: Contrary to the suggestion below, the ATI X1950XT doesn't have an AGP version, that chart is for the PCI-Express x16 version. The ATI X1950XTX and the Nvidia 8800GTX are the best cards for PCI-Express x16.

The fastest AGP is the X1950XT or X1950 Pro cards.

Matters how much you want to spend. $100 dollar range is the x1650 pro cards. Far faster then the 5950 (in the charts above, it's slower then the 6200 TC:bottem of the list)
Reply:This card may not do you any good, but you can check out what all they have, and they have a pretty good selection and you can narrow it down by price. A place you can do a little research.

you can go there and check your performance and compare it to other systems and similar and different cards.
Take care, Keith
