I have a Radeon X600 256MB HyperMemory and Radeon X600 256MB HyperMemory Secondary with a PCI bus. (I Think I Said That Right). Two Cards caught my eye, the Invidia EVGA Geforce 7800 GS CO ,and the ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB APG. Will they work, which one is better? If not what would you recomemend? What I'm Aiming for is Next Gen Graphics without the next Gen Price.
PS: I Have a Dell Dimension E510 Desktop That runs on Windows XP.

The E510 has x16 PCIe graphics slot. You can NOT use an AGP card there. If you want affordable Next Gen graphics, get a DX10 card like the Geforce 8600GT or the GTS.

im using a card similar to the x1650 pro i have 512 ddr2 in mine from saphire its a nice card for games i can play ghost recon advanced warfighter with almost everything on high at about 27-30 frames . it aint bad for aroud $110 bucks. the clock speed on those is only 500 mhz i have to overclock mine to 600 to get that frame rate. its far from next gen though. to me next gen implies a heafty price tag. you should probly switch to a sLI or crossfire mobo if you wnat next gen or atleast PCIe. AGP is out thats why they are so cheap now
check aout the ati link the next gen systems can have a third card working solely on pysics. $$$ if i was going to dump anywere close to 400 bucks on games id just get a xbox 360 and call it a day though.
