Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler AGP Graphics Card Recommendation

I usually recommend picking up a new mobo with integrated graphics for now and PCIE bus for the future, otherwise you'll never get away from AGP. A cheap dual-core CPU from today will usually outrun a Big Honkin CPU from back then, and will frequently outrun a pair of Big Honkin CPUs.

Somewhere around that time PCs went from needing lots of +5V power to needing lots of +12 power so be careful with per-rail power supply capacity, but even the oldest power supplies seem to be able to power a CPU+IGP setup.
