What is the best graphics card you can get with an AGP card?
My PC is a Dell Dimension 8300...
I was looking at the ATI Radeon x1650 Pro AGP
Also, is the card you choose good enough to run the majority of today's top games?
thanks.
Your video card is rated 30.8 FRAPS which will play most games at full settings but will probably not play the most extreme games at full settings.
FRAPS: refer to:
http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html
==========================
My opinion for a new video card:
For playing the latest most extreme games a FRAPS (frames per second) of 50 or higher
For moderate games a FRAPS of 30 or more.
For no games a FRAPS of 18 or more
Refer to:
http://www23.tomshardware.com/graphics.html
Ratings are for a PCI x16 card installed on a computer similar to the test machine.

===============================
Higher performance cards require more current from the 12 volt leg of the power supply that supplies the video card. This may require changing to a more powerful power supply. Determine the amps at 12 Volts the video card recommends and compare it to your existing power supply.
If you need to buy both a power supply and the video card which could run $150 to $300, I would be tempted to bite the bullet and just build a new computer.
