Thanks for the info.

Funny, I was contemplating a 19" tft to replace my older 19" sony crt, I may
do just that!

You have one hell of a system already so my advice is keep what
you've got, wait 12-18 months and upgrade when Longhorn comes out.

In the meantime, you can spend your money on all other sorts of
goodies (such as 19" TFT).

I currently have the following system specs that I built a few
months ago: MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum Nforce3 mb socket 939
Athlon 64 bit 3500+
1 gb pc3200 Corsair LL ddr ram running in dual channel
ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128 mb agp video card
Creative Audigy2 ZS soundcard

I have the system overclocked, running at 2.55 ghz
I have the Radeon overclocked in 3d, running at 410/372

The system is very stable, and runs fine. However, i feel the Radeon
9800 Pro is holding me back somewhat, and am strongly considering
adding something like the X800XL.

Now, my dilemma. I can go ahead and get an agp version to put in
this. The pci express versions are a little cheaper. I know pcie is
where the market is headed, you see more and more pcie video cards
available now than ever, and fewer agp ones. I would like to get a
good video card with 256 mb of memory.

I am debating, whether to just go ahead and invest in a Nforce4
board to accomodate a pci-e videocard and get that, or to go ahead
and get an agp and
hold off on the motherboard upgrade. Should I upgrade the
motherboard, I would probably go wtih the MSI Nforce4 board. Or, I
could wait a few more months for the dust to settle, and do nothing.

Would appreciate any advice.
