which new agp graphics card ?

The nVidia GeForce 6800GS

I strongly suggest you do not buy your video card at eBay. There are way too many bad/defective video graphics cards floating around. Get something with a warranty you can trust. 15 percent need warranty work. Pay for it in advance.

those 6800gs cards are hard to find in agp i can only find 3 of them

The 6800GS is a perfect card and is better than the 7600GT because of it's 256-bit interface. A superb choice IMO. Get the Gainward one.

even though it's discribed as "untested"

Don't touch it with a barge-pole. With all those disclaimers it has to be a lemon.

I am currently the highest bidder £25 but if i get outbid i wont bid any more

just had a quote from pc care
they will supply and fit a series 6 graphics card for £60 so i will use them

What series 6 graphics card do pc care say they will fit?

I don't know i have replied to ask if it will be a 6800gs

Ah, that explains it. eBay is notorious for this. Try looking for a 6600GT or a 7300GT GDDR3 instead. Both are superb cards and can still play most new games quite acceptably.

Is the geforce 6200 a good graphics card?

Depends on who made it and how much RAM it has. For example, the ASUS 6200 with 128 Mb RAM has had very good reviews.

there are a couple on ebay that i am looking at
here they are

The best you can afford - price = perfmance

The 6200 is a good video card if you're going to surf the web, play flash based games and use typing programs. If you want to play WoW, FEAR, or newer games then you're going to need something with a lot more power like THIS. You may also have to purchase a new PSU (power source) depending on what you already have. I couldn't easily find the amperage needed for the card but I'll guess that you'd need to have at least a 450 watt PSU to power the thing. Nvidia quit supporting AGP after the 7 series cards so this should be the one of the fastest or the fastest card you could get for AGP.

The 7600GT is a good card and so is the 6800GS. I have one of the 6800GS overclocked versions.

Don't bid again until there are just 15 seconds left until the auction ends. The method is called snipping and helps to keep me from over bidding and helps to keep the price down on the item I'm bidding for. When I bid on an item I never bid until the last few seconds of the auction. If I lose then I lose because somebody's maximum bid was higher than mine. If I win then I won because I outbid the other guy by a few pennies. I don't want to give him time to change his mind on his maximum bid so I drasticly reduce the amount of time he has to change his mind. I usually win and get a fair price. When you do bid put in your maximum price plus a few pennies not your current bid. Say the current bid is $23.00 and shipping is $6.00 more. I don't want to pay anymore than $32.00 with shipping so I place my maximum bid of $26.07 seconds before the auctions ends. If I win then great; if I don't then somebody else was willing to pay more (or overpay) for the item.

The X1950PRO is a powerful, albeit expensive card for AGP. It's worth checking out if you have the cash though.

Not true. Read this and this.

@SNGX1275, the HD2400 is going to be officially released by ATI and it's partners in AGP, and the price range is given as $50-$75. I think that would be perfect for your HTPC, wouldn't it?
