Best AGP card for about $150 US
I'm shopping for an ATI AGP video card. Should I basically just look
for things like pixel pipelines, core clock, memory clock, and memory interface? I want it for gaming and dual monitors. By the way, do dual monitors benefit by a faster card and more memory, say greater than 128 MB? I've heard that higher end cards look about the same in lower resolutions. Does that mean a higher end card would shine in dual monitor applications like Flight Simulator 2004 when the total number of pixels is about double? Thank you. -- thanks for the reply to my prior similar post, sorry I didn't mention AGP |

Trying to find memory clock speed and pixel pipelines is difficult to impossible for the the one I ordered. -- thanks to all the replies |

After further reading. Apparently the pipelines issue is either an NVIDIA/ATI fanboy dispute or it's the result of people misinterpreting their overclocking utility's readout. After lots of reading especially of user reviews, I'm very impressed. But apparently it's not for users who have trouble installing software and drivers. And it requires significant power. |
