Don't buy it, it's a waste of money. Get yourself an PCI-E motherboard and a 7800GT minimum. Trust me.

thought i might have been wrong there lol =p
ill stick with ma agp motherboard for now dont wana buy a new motherboard + processor, just upgrading this machine a bit. I dont see me needing to get another graphics card for a while as the 7800 is prob one of the last for agp =p
It is the last for AGP and it's not even the best all around card.
You don't need a new CPU, you just need a new motherboard for PCI-E.
The 7800 GS is within +-10 pounds of the cost of a new 7800 GT which is considerably and noticeably faster.

Are you POSTIVE that you plugged in TWO different power connectors in the motherboard? A 4 pin AND a 20 pin?
