alright, heres the deal. I'm trying to upgrade my computer because its fallen behind. plus i cant buy a whole new one
For example for the longest time I was forced to run XP on 256 RAM >.< (been fixed now)
Now what I wanna upgrade is my graphics card. (a shitty FX 5200 >.<)
Now, i'm gonna need to use this card probably for the next 3-5 years and I game so i need something good yet still not hugely expensive. I'm looking at the 7600. is that a good card to get right now? I know its one of the best in the market currently but will it last for a while and be capable of delivering for the next, next gen?
lookie here I'm thinking of grabing this. it worth it?

Ok,
this is the AGP version of the card you posted
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Se...227&CatId=0
but I'd recommend this one (if you don't need the dual dvi's)
as it's got double the ram

dude, NEVER say such things about the FX 5200. That card has gotten me through every game...until battlefield 2 in which reality came to such a shocking front that I almost cried. Still a terrific and superb low-end card.
