PCI Express Vid Card?

[{DOU}cHiCkEn]

Ok, I got this baby built. 3.5 Ghz hyperthreaded CPU, 1 Gig memory, High Definition Audio, slimline DVD/CDR-W with combined slimline floppy in a solid case with a 550 Watt power supply. Running XP Pro.

Only thing missing is the PCIE card which I ordered today. Should have it in 3 to 7 days. This is what I bought.

Figured that wouldn't break the bank but give me some solid performance.

Cool thing though is the onboard video of this MB I have will run UT99 and UT2004 as good as the old ATI Radeon 7200 I've been using in my other system.

I'll update again on card performance when it arrives.

For a 256 Meg PCIE video card is pretty good considering that it's usually more expensive than AGP but you can get twice more performance out of them... But how much more is the 512?

I'm currently looking for a 512 Meg AGP for my system but I'm gonna wait on it...
