Getting a AGP card these days is not really a good affair. A decent AGP card costs like a several times better PCI-E card.

If you really need to stay with AGP I'd consider the Radeon 3850. It's €121 at komplett.nl (the cooling on the €111 one isn't as good) which would get you a much better PCI-E card. Saving €44 and getting a 3650 instead at €77 is an ok deal if you want to save a bit, but *don't* get the FX5500 they got. It plain sucks.

Thanks to Morgan, Tiny Snapshots is up and running again with "Tiny Järvafält" as the latest addition – Go have a look and tell me what you think. "We knew the world would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. I remembered the line from the Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad-Gita. Vishnu is trying to persuade the Prince that he should do his duty and to impress him takes on his multi-armed form and says, 'Now, I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds.' I suppose we all thought that, one way or another." /Robert Oppenheimer on witnessing the first thermonuclear detonation in history.
