The fastest in the UK is the Gainward 7800GS Bliss. Cheaper versions
of the 7800GS are also available from other manufacturers.

FWIW, I'm very happy with my evga 7800GS. It'll keep me going until
it's time to build a new system in 2007. By then we'll be looking at
Core 2 Duo systems running Vista and DX10 cards.

The 7800GS is the fastest. Best is totally subjective but probably very
close between eVGA, XFX, and BFG.

Thanks for the "steer", off having a look

Just be aware that 7800GS cards may sell for $80-$100 *more* than a much
faster 7800GT, enough to buy a PCIe motherboard. A motherboard swap will be
more work, obviously, though the Rebuild function in XP can be used to avoid
a OS reinstall.

How do you access the rebuild function you mention?

I think he means booting to the XP cd and doing a repair install.

Rebuild, repair, whatever:

How about booting into safe mode, open up regedit and delete the
local_machine "enum" key. Then shut down, replace hardware, boot, set bios
settings, then let windows redetect the new hardware and then load new
drivers.

Without any shadow of a doubt the Gainward 7800GS+ is the fastest AGP card
in existance. The only thing that comes close is the Gainward 7800GS
(without the +).

Why? Because the Gainward 7800GS+ is not a 7800GS, its really a 7900GT and
the 7800GS is really a 7800GT.

Both of these cards slaughter all other AGP cards in virtually every
benchmark.
