I am thinking of upgrading my graphics card and after reading up the Radeon 9800 pro seems the best value as I don't want to spend a complete fortune. After talking to a friend though he reckons that the drivers are crap and there are a lot of issues running certain games. He reckons Nvidia drivers are a lot better and that there is no compatibilty problems whatsoever. Is there any truth in this? Also my motherboard is just AGPx4 is it worth upgrading this too? Or does this not make such a big difference? My processor is an XP2100+ so I could also upgrade this but the motherboard only supports 266MHZ FSB so I guess this would limit me to an XP2400+ or is there higher? Would this setup be up to running the next generation of games at a decent frame rate? Any ideas please? Would rather not spend a fortune so I guess the mobo could be upgraded later, my memory is 512MB of PC2700.
