When that time comes I doubt you'll be happy about using an expensive AGP video card as a paperweight. What video card you should buy depends on the other components in system. What is your processor and how much RAM do you have?
Well I have an Intel Pentium 4 2.66GHz processor and 512 Mb RAM.

Oh and in what way exactly do memory (RAM) and processor have anything to do with which videocard one choses ? I can understand why knowing your processor is needed, something I don't yet for memory.

Also, I thought relatively powerfull videocards like the 7600gt, or the more powerfull 7900 and x1950 pro, weren't able to function with an AGP Motherboard - don't know why I thought so, but judging from the quoted, this isn't necessarily so. Or am I wrong ?
