Does The Nvidia 7600gt come in AGP?

im thinking of upgrading my video card soon, because this ATI one i got is started to tick me off a lot....

i only have an AGP slot, im not willing to buy an entire new Mobo just to get a PCIe slot

Sean,

Check out this site http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...s=19&c=us&l=en. It's a Dell website but you might be able to find one cheaper through www.pricegrabber.com.

I have this same video card but in PCI-E format, on a Gigabyte SLI mbo.

Good Luck,

Oh i was typing from school, and for some strange reason they have banned words that have to do with computer stuff, games, hardware, stuff like that.

oh, and Would my 430watt thermaltake power supply be able to handle this graphics card?

excellent place to find cheap deals, but just out of Curiosity is the X1650 better then the 7600gt? because at Australian Online VIP i can get a X1650 for $156.90 with DDR2 memory, or i could splurge and go for the GDDR3 one that goes for nearly $200

I like nvidia cards better, and I think x1650 and 7600gt are about the same.

Best card for AGP is 7900GS I think, Unless they released something better which I haven't checked.

ok, i was just thinking since i have an ATI card i suppose i would continue down the family line,since the X1950 sells for nearly $400 AGP, but my budget is below $200...

Nah, I reckon your PSU would handle that easy.

best prices in Sydney
better than eBay
matches Computer fair (www.computerfairs.com.au)
Asus Geforce 7600GS 256MB - $165
and 1GB of Generic DDR2 RAM for $50 (wish my system supported DDR2...)

ehh ok your Aust Online VIP is cheaper...
but watch out, some companies don't let you pick up items and force a postage cost on you
also do the prices include GST?
MSY does already

A x1650 pro has a recommended minimum 350 watt PSU (I just bought one yesterday). The 7600 GS and 7600 GT have roughly the same requirements as their ATI counterparts, so your PSU should handle any of them.
