August 8, 200421 yr listen, no mater what pci card you get it will still be worse then any agp card. the reason- pci only lets so much data in and out to the mobo, agp lets about 4 times the amount of info to and from the mobo than a pci. pci express on the other had is about 3 times faster then agp. if you have the money to buy a pci X800 then you have the money to buy a new mobo with a cpu and ram. hell you might be able to get a cheap agp card to go with it.i did overclock my pci 9200 with softmod drivers or whatever you call them. i overclocked the core from 200 to about 268. i didn't touch the memory b/c when i did the thing became unstable.
