well, while a sli set up is technically the best, its not practical, so we can scratch that, wats your budget? and do u kno wat kind of mobo your using? i hope its pci e compatible, but for cards, if u want to go budget and get a damn good card at tha same time i think the 6600 gt is decent, its around $130-150. if u want proformance for a few more bucks, then id get the x800xl for around $150-170, its a decent card thats probably wat id advise, but if want to get top-of-the-line then go for a 7900gtx i dont kno the prices for it but there around $400-500, or u could get the 1800xtx, thats the ati counterpart (wat have i done...) of the 7900gtx and tis around the same ballpark in pricing
Yay, let's just throw around cards and prices and call it a day.
first of all, SLi is very practical especially if you play on resolutions greater than 1280x1024 and with newer games. second, while the 6600gt was a good card, it no longer plays the new games that well and i would reccomend getting the 7600gt. which is priced similar to the x800xl and would tear the x800xl apart. next if you are looking at the $300 price range, the 7900gt is a very good choice. finally if you are looking at the real highend cards the x1900xt and the 7900gtx are both very good choices.
and if you are looking at agp, get no less than a 7800gs as the rest dont perform as well for any newer games. And my personal reccomendation would be to just drop the AGP motherboard and get a nice new PCI-e motherboard with a pci-e graphics card as the selection is much better.
EDIT: after i saw your $150 budget, defiantly hope you have PCI-e and get the 7600gt. If not, the 6600gt is your best bet.
