i was wondering if anyone could give me suggestions for tihe best agp out right now and not too expensive. my price range is 100- 200
 
There's the 7800GS, it's probably the best AGP. Look it up, im from Canada so in American dollars might be within your price range.
 
yea ive heard the X850 XT PE is still better than the 7800GS aside from SM 3.0
 
Yeah I've heard that too, since its very overclockable.

I have just got the 6800GS today, and I'm impressed with it. its not THE best since I can't run FEAR at full settings really without some jerks, but I know the 7800Gs would cope, even though it has the same number of pipelines.

Its effectiveness works through how many more operations it can carry out per pixel shader, per clock. The 7800GS does 8 operations, while the 6800gs does 4.

Thats where the extra power comes in. Other than that, its pretty much the same.

Oh and of course, you get the transparent antialising possible on the 7 series.
 
I have the x850 XT/pe (well x850 pro i flashed the bios)and it gives me a good reason to stick to AGP...its a really good card and i reccomend u get it!
 
The lower you go, the less of a performance you'll be getting. Still, a decent card. Here are some good picks for the price you are asking for:

SAPPHIRE 100131L Radeon X800GTO 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card

eVGA 128-A8-N350 Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X Video Card
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130220

That's the lowest I would go and still have bragging rights and the ability to play every single game in the entire world.
