7800GS and x1600Pro AGP compatibility

[schmosef]

First, i want to apologize if this has already been asked and answered (i searched the forums and didn't find anything directly related).

I want to know if it's been determined whether the new nVidia 7800 GS or ATI x1600Pro AGP cards will work with Shuttle XPCs.

I have an SB75S, which is the same motherboard as a SB75G2, but with a slightly different case (pearl white).

I've currently got an ATI 9800Pro card installed.

I wanted to put off buying a whole new computer for at least another year so that I could see who was winning the multicore CPU wars.

It looks like either card could be a great interim upgrade, if one will work.

Does anybody know conclusively?

Also, if they both work, is there any compelling reason why I should opt for one over the other (like some feature that DX10 needs but isn't support by one of the cards)?

Thank you for any info you can provide. I've emailed BFG to ask if they know. I'll post here if I hear back from them.

I'm also interested in a new video card. I have XPC model SK83G and I'm running a Nvidia 6600 GT on it now. I'm concerned about not having enough power to run a higher video card like the 7800 GS. My XPC has the silentX 220 in it. I also have 2 hard drives installed as well as a optical.

Anyone got ideas???

thanks

Power requirements for these video cards all usual recomend like over 400 watts and my liitle shuttle says its a 220. What kind of power supply does yours have and do you have any instablities or anything?

no probs whatsoever, can overclock card and cpu and still run my HD movies and the rare game, play more on 360 these days

std 220w PSU, Shuttle PSU's tend to handle more that there output rating suggests

Thanks for the good news.

Which card do you have specifically?

How many hard drives do you have?
