I'm looking to buy a cheap new AGP graphics card for my PC. These are the two that I've found:
POWERCOLOR AG3650 512MD2-V3 Radeon HD 3650 512MB 64-bit DDR2 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card

VisionTek 900182 Radeon HD 2600PRO 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card

I'm pretty sure that the second one is better; even though it's older, it's got a 128-bit bus instead of a 64-bit bus (which I've heard makes a noticable difference?), support for DX10 and Vista (which I'm not using, but might come in handy), and the rest of the specs look about the same. Also, the second one is ten bucks cheaper off Amazon. Although the Powercolor looks to be newer, I think any benefits from that would be outweighed by the weaker memory bus... But hell, what do I know? Any help would be greatly appreciated. (:
Thanks!
go for the powercolor
Thanks for the suggestion, but why? Not to challenge you, I'd just like to know the details.
First off the VisionTek is deactivated.
It's available new off of Amazon for $50.

more recent gpu achitecture, plus the memory bandwith is higher. If you want to be sure, go and look at benchmark and gpu-z screenshot of those card
Okay, I'll look into that - Thanks!
