Nearly any AGP card is better than PCI nowadays, i have a single PCI and single AGP on my comp, but i fried the PCI kinda overloaded it after a few years of everquest, and then the old GeForce i had in it which i found out was like in the GF2 series but equivilant to a GF3 or so wouldnt run as well without the extra help from the pci, so i just went out and grabbed this Radeon 9980 256 agp for a nice $120 on sale at bestbuy with a mail in rebate of $75 ^_^ Pretty sweet deal on it.
Anyways, after i got the new video card i realised i had to go get another power supply after it wouldnt turn on and run because the card was draining everything my little 200watt power supply had lol, So i went out and got a 400watt, but then i found out my friend needed the new power supply i had because his 550watt wouldnt fit in his tower, so we traded and i ended up getting a 550watt power supply with extra connectors (enough to run two comps off it without spliters of any kind) for a 400 and $20 So honestly i really got lucky in my setup, although the ram is crappy ive got 2 256 sticks in it, i would really like to upgrade that eventually but money has been way tight for me.
So i mean you could always fork out the money and upgrade your card, as your system seems quite nice, or you could always do it like me, and have one good system for serious gaming (big stuff i.e. oblivion, EQ, WoW ect.) and then another smaller system for the rest of it, D2, WC3, ect.
But check this site out as well, www.pricewatch.com They have some of the cheapest prices ive ever seen on many high quality things, i get most everything from them.
Anyways good luck :]

So hey - for you people playing this game for a few weeks now - give me the low down. I'm about to go back to Kuwait tomorrow, and I'm eager to fire this baby up. What has changed, insofar as races, classes and skills go? I see from the rulebook that they modified racial bonuses, simplified some skills, and removed some others. What I want to know is mostly about game dynamics: i.e. does Destruction magic still suck? Are Blades still the best weapon choice? Did any of the races get better/worse in the new game? Stuff like that.

Blades too strong now compared to rest. Blade skill is short and long now.
Destruction Magic is really good once u get to master. Stealth system is GODLY, probably just as good as thief game for xbox. The physics engine is so great... omg.

Well now, mages definently do ALOT more damage than melee can.
Thiefs are so sexy :]
Oh and hand to hand now does physcial damage and damages the fatigue of the opponent at the same time, in case your intrested in making a monk :]
p.s. Go do some side quests before you continue the main quest, get at least lvl 5-7 with decent gear / skills. Hopfully before you go to kvatch.

Oblivion is only less cool than WoW because you cant play it with 300000 other people. But im sure in the future they are gonna make something allows it to connect, thats the biggest seller.
