    Help.......

    Well it looks like my x800 xt pe is dead and so am looking for a replacement now i was wondering about the x850 agp range but iirc they are dual slot cooling which won't work in my shuttle

    So do i go for some thing cheap like a 6600 gt agp or do i try to get another x800 but this time just a xt and not a xt pe ?

    Drew

    one very unhapy lad at the mo,

    perhaps a 6800 GT? There faster then then a X800 pr and shold run moderatly quite I wouldnt buy a replacement tho... With PCI E here agp is being fased out way too fast! Perhaps a new mobo/cheap GPU? Might serve you better in the long run.

    Am not goint to replace my entire shuttle setup just to use pc-e...these still plenty of life left in this amd agp rig.

    are the 6800gt's single slot cooling ? and your saying there in the same region as a x800 pro ?

    Some single yes, and there generaly faster then a X800 pro and thats why they are a bit more in price Its the better choice out of the 2. I myself am about to get rid of my ultra and change over to PCI E its time for me to sell this beast before she loses all her value. I am shure others are doing the same.. perhaps you could get a GT second hand?

    6800gt are generally faster than the 12 piped X800Pro.. the AGP variant now shouldnt cost you as much as like say, a year ago.. when they were rediculously expensive. Good choice for a shuttle (not the dual slot Winfast version)
    Me want Ultrabook
