well, what is the old one? then we can determine a decent upgrade within your price range.

both cards sounds fine to me, the cards youre looking at is a pci, i dont know what kind of mobo you have but the normal pci are cheaper than agp, but if you have a new mobo, you can get a pci express, but they are quite expencive

na, you got it wrong. PCI is more expensive than AGP, and PCI express is the cheapest, and best.
any who, this card you're looking at is hardly an upgrade, but not necessairly a downgrade. if you got only a PCI slot (not agp, or PCI express), you realy can't go to much further up than what you have....

Heyyo,

Remember, LE means "Limited Edition" and unlike cars n' such, it actually refers to preformance. Yep, it's Limited.. not as good as the norm, so it's slower n' such, allowing the price to be lower than the norm version. It probably won't be by much anywho.. but pci? I dunno man, pci's not too great, and I feel that a newer mobo's a more critical upgrade if it ain't got agp already.

PCI rulz

[color=orange]ok hondachild05 you absolutely know nothing about computers pci is the worst when it comes to video cards. and the man asking about the video cards if you have an agp slot get a 9600pro/xt or 9800pro/xt if your looking at getting a new mobo with pci-e id look at sapphire's x700 pci-e [/color]

u should get a geforce 6600, thats a hell better than ati's 9600. itr comes in both agp and pci 16x. but the agp's more expensive

He said he needs to use PCI, not PCI-e or AGP.

5700, not LE, is your best bet.
