installing 6800 ultra agp this weekend. i am not a player - just video editing on Sony Vegas 6 (still need to learn) and Premier Pro 2.0

to answer the question on two cards - same debate as Intel vs. AMD... there are things that one of them is doing better then the other and vice versa.... I've build my station pretty recently and decided to go the cheaper way with AGP vs PCI-E one one reason. I've been around computers for quite some time and learned one thing - lates and greatest is not the way to go. You have to be one step behind the technology or you'll end up spending ton of money every 6 months just to stay current. Companies can do that - they are well funded. Thats the nature of technology. Before giving you any advice please tell what you plan to do with your machine: gaming ? video editing ? casual computing ?
