Sorry for forgetting to include how I'll use it. I plan to stick this into my fileserver PC. I dont expect to have it turned on and sitting idle most times but when it's on, it probably will be running for a couple of hours at least while I'm streaming video/audio out of it.

7600GS AGP suggestions

thanks for the explanation. so if i wanted to get an understanding of the x850pro's performance on tomshardware vid charts, i should look at the x800? i think the 7800gs or 7600gt is outta my budget. i really dont see the point in spending that much on an agp card these days.
