Greetings Folks
I've got a AMD Barton 2800+ and giving it to someone else in the family so will be building another system.
I wanted to upgrade and was looking at the x2 3800 and 4200 (in my extreme price range). Then got my turned towards the Opteron 165 (possibly 170). I hear that the 165 is as good if not better (especially when oc'd) than the x2 3800 and 4200.
When digging into the 165 though I started looking at mb's and haven't come across any with agp. Is agp that dead ?
I've got a ATI 9600 XT, which has been just fine (as far as I can tell) since I'm not a gamer. could someone recommend a replacement vid card that about the same in performance and cost ?
::edit:: Replacement, meaning one that would work with most 939 mb's.
I generally do alot of winrar'ing, video editing and encoding along with just general multitasking.
