I'm thinking about upgrading my v-card to a x800XL. I play mostly FPS and strategy games, and sometimes some flight sims once in a blue moon.
My mobo is 8x AGP and I don't want to move to PCI-e and spend $$$ on mobo/cpu/v-card upgrades, so I was thinking a x800XL agp card would be nice for some up-coming games like AoE III (which uses HDR lighting) and even for Battlefield 2 which currently lags pretty often for me.
Any thoughts on this upgrade? Think the v-card will improve the lagging on my BF 2 or is it most likely an internet bandwidth issue? (4 megabit cable model connection).
