[View Quote] (I think PCI-E is backwards compatible with PCI... but it would be
stupid to do that so he'd have to probably get a whole new system...
wouldn't be too hard with $500 though)

Rough performance chart. Varies from test to test, but you get the general
idea:

[View Quote] Yup, but it really doesn't matter, there's AGP versions for cheaper.

I would recommend the 9800pro for best bang for buck. I don't recommend
it for ease of install or without lack of future problems though. But
yeah, if it were for Christmas for me I'd throw it up there because you
can always return it easily around Christmas (usually they give you a
hard time on PC hardware).
