I'm looking for some help with an AGP upgrade for my sys.
I have a home brew:

Graphics: MSI RX 9800Pro (360 Core, 128 DDR, 256 Bit)
MB: P4P800-E dlx
CPU: P4 3.0E
Mem: 2X512 dual channel 3200 corsair
HD: 120 Maxtor(on the PATA @133)
Sound:Audigy2
DVD Burner
CD Burner
Antec case, 350W PSU

O.K. with this config. at what point am I going to be limited by the sys/CPU?
I got behind the power curve so the only choices left at this point are the AIW x800xt, x800pro(non vivo) / 7800gs, 6800gs. Thanks for any advice.

Yeah your CPU is going to be limiting you in a lot of cases with anything much better than a 6800GS.

I would grab a bfg 6800gs, unlock it, overclock it, and keep it till you're ready to go pci-e.
