Depending on your budget scott,theres loads of excellent a.g.p cards with pixel and shader model 3.0
starting at the bottom with the budget models,the nvidia geforce 6200(http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=555356)is a excellent card for its price(£34),it has 256mb of memory and pixel and shader model 3.0,however the clock speeds of 350mhz core and 600mhz memory make this a good card for part time gamers but not for die hard gamers who want high frame rates....here are the specifications......................
Product Inno3D Geforce 6200 Inno3D Geforce 6200
Chipset Geforce 6200
Memory 256MB/128MB GDDR2
Core Frequency 350MHz
Memory Frequency 533MHz
RAMDAC 400MHZ
Interface AGP 8x/4x
Pixel Per Clock 4
Memory Bus 64-bit
Max. Resolution 2048 x 1536
SLI Ready NA
Output 1. DVI
2. Standard 15-Pin D-Sub
however if you want some extra power in your graphics then the nvidia GeForce 7800 GS (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-085-LT&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=411),this is a new addition to the agp family,as manufacturers have realised that many users still use the agp interface and the demand is still there for such cards
the geforce 7800gs is a brilliant card for its price,its probally the card that would suit most users as its good for gaming with its clock speeds of 375mhz core and 1200mhz memory
its also a nice looking card,similar to alot of those high end cards,just not at the high end price
here are the specifications.......................
GeForce™ 7800 GS GPU running at 375MHz
- 256MB 1200MHz high speed GDDR3 1.4ns memory
- Superscalar 16-Pipe GPU Architecture
- High-Speed DDR 256-bit Memory Interface
- Dual 400MHz RAMDACs
- HDTV Connection
- DVI
- Bundled with Prince of Persia: Warrior Within & Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory
finally if money is no object then the card of choice is the ATI Radeon X1950 Pro (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-137-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=403)officially the fastest agp graphics card in the world,however this card requires 2 x 4pin molex connectors,so make sure you have a adequate power supply
however this is a gaming card for avid gamers,with its core clock speed of 580mhz and a memory clock speed of 1400mhz this will make mince meat of any game,and of course its got pixel and shader model 3.0 and is direct x 9 compatible
this card can keep up with alot of pci-express cards of similar specification,its a real workhorse and a good investment for any agp based system
heres its specifications..............................
Powered by ATI Radeon X1950 PRO - 580MHz (RV570 80nm)
- 512MB-256bit 8 channel GDDR3 memory - 1.40GHz
- 36 Pixel shader processor
- Ultra-threaded SM 3.0 Engine
- 512-bit Ring-bus
- HDCP Enabled!!
personally i would go for the geforce 7800gs,not because i dont like the x1950pro but because it dosent take as much power as the radeon card and it looks good in any p.c and also i prefer geforce and nvidia over a.t.i
i hope this has helped you scott
good luck mate!
