However, once the AGP is turned on in the BIOS you'll find that it's really quite speedy. The high-end ATI cards seem to work just fine; however, some Matrox cards have caused problems.
Do you need expensive video? I'm still doing fine with an ATI Radeon 9200 (not SE or anything else...just plain ol'e 9200). Stay away from any Radeon that says "SE"...there's a reason they're cheap.
Yea, they're pretty cheap from warehouse direct...ect... but retail stores is what I meant. If the price is right, of course I'll go for one, but the price will most likely never be right at Best buy

The new microprocessors to be introduced later this year will sharply modify the family of Intel’s central processing units, as the new chips do not fit into the general roadmap submitted by the Santa Clara, California-based chipmaker earlier this year.
Intel on Friday sent its partners a document informing them about implementation of a new packaging system for Intel’s tray processors. In an enclosure to the document the company indicated product codes of the chips to be supplied in the new packaging. Among the list of products a number of unannounced central processing units were mentioned.
The main message Intel sends to its clients with updated chip plans is that the company wants to continue offering 90nm products for older generation Socket 478 infrastructure, but also to introduce a number of 130nm processors for the emerging Socket 775 infrastructure.
Apparently, Intel’s slightly outdated Socket 478 infrastructure will see a number of fresh high-end processors, something that Intel did not want to introduce initially, such as, Intel Pentium 4 Extreme Edition 3.60GHz, Intel Pentium 4 “Prescott” 3.60GHz and even Intel Pentium 4 “Prescott” 3.80GHz processors. Furthermore, the company will also introduce Celeron D in mPGA478 packaging at up to 3.46GHz speeds in addition to a yet another entry-level Pentium 4 chip with 2.26GHz clock-speed, 533MHz processor system bus and 512KB of cache.

This'll be fun.

its for my gf and she doesnt do any video editing or intensive gaming so a video card $50-$100 should be more than sufficient
