Ok, My wife is going to get me a gift certificate for Newegg for my b-day and I am getting a new videocard. I am looking at AGP cards and I am between the 1950Pro and the 7600GS. Which of the cards on this list would you get?Also, I noticed that the 1950's come with 2 DVI plugs. Am I going to loose anything using the adaptors?http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList....tk=&srchInDesc=

I just upgraded my computer to PCI E and have a BFG 7800 OC AGP that has a lifetime warranty if you want it. I'm selling it for $100 plus shipping.

Thanks but I think I am going for one of the ATI 1950's but I am not sure which brand.

No problem Jeff. I upgraded my entire system and I got an 8800 video card. This thing rocks. After all of my upgrades I have enough pc parts to open a store.BTW I could really go for a wrap from Olgas overin the mall off of Telegraph in Taylor.Jeff

Thanks but I think I am going for one of the ATI 1950's but I am not sure which brand.Of all the cards on the Newegg page you linked to the 1950 series are the best choice. Anything from ATI, HIS, Gecube, or Sapphire will do just fine. They are all reference cards, the primary differences being the cooler each manufacturer utilizes. Before ordering you might read the owners reviews for each card, paying special attention to their comments about cooler noise.The DVI dongle will not cause you problems, though it would be wise to pick up a DVI cable in the near future. VGA cables (and video cards w/ VGA outputs... especially high perf cards) are becoming rare. Finally, check your power supply. The Antec listed in your sig has 2 PCI-e (6 pin) connectors, but some of the cards on the Newegg page use 1 or 2 4 pin Molex. Make sure you buy a card that will easily connect to your PSU (as in, if you choose a card that uses 4 pin Molex connector(s) do have enough left over after connecting to all your other devices to get it done?).Hope this helps,

I wasn't even looking at that. I do have the 2 6 pin plugs available on my PSU but those are the only plugs that I have available. Between the Diamond, Sapphire and HIS, the HIS is the only one that has the 6 pin plug so I guess that is the one I want?Also, I was looking at some of the left over cables I have laying around and the PCI-e cables that I have seem to be 6 pin but they seem to go down to 4 pin at the other end (same plastic casing at both ends but only 4 of the cells have wires connected to them). Wouldn't I need a 6-pin to 6-pin or do I have the right cable?Ok, I know this is beginning to sound retarded.

the HIS is the only one that has the 6 pin plug so I guess that is the one I want?Seems like that may be your route.If you choose a card that uses the 4 pin Molex's then you need to make certain you have two available 4 pin Molex connectors (and in an ideal world they would be on different rails of the PSU).The obvious choice is to go with a card that has a 6 pin PCI-e connector on it. Simply hook one of your PSU's 6 pin PCI-e connectors to the new video card and your're good to go.
