Graphics card or CPU update ?


Recommended Posts

With AMD Socket AM-2 and Intel Conroe just around the corner, AGP video card support is coming to the end. I would advise you not to spend $300 on an AGP video card (7800GS). Either:

 

1. Get something cheap that beats your current card,

 

2. Upgrade to a socket 939 setup, or

 

3. Suck it up and wait 1 - 1.5 years (6 - 9 months for release and 6 more months for the infancy problems to be resolved) for AM-2 or Conroe.

 

My money is on choices 2 or 3. Hope this helps.

as walternowi says, if you sell, wait for either conroe or amds m2.

 

the 7600gs agp card is out, so you could upgrade to that, by why bother at this late stage ?

 

vonroe is looking to be a monster, and if amd dont come out with something good, then intel will pwn for the next year or so once conroe is released.
