Hey people, I have a tech support question for all of you, he he he.

Ok now, I'm currently tossing around upgrading to a new computer and keeping my old one. Right now I have a 1-ghz athlon with 512-megs 133-mhz ram and a killer sound system.

Everything is decent except for the video card. I only have a Geforce DDR card in it now. I'd like to step up to a Geforce 3, but the thing is that my damn motherboard only supports 2X, which the card that I'm looking at will work on my system just fine, BUT that brings me to my question.

Would the difference between running a Geforce 3 card on a system with a 2X AGP slot be that much difference than a 4X AGP slot ?? I'm sure that there'd be some difference, but would it be that noticable.

I'm thinking about jumping on an 1800 Thunderbird, but if for a couple hundred, I can drag more time outta this sytem, then I will.
