i'd like an X700 but i think those are all PCI-Express. i'm considering a 9800 PRO or 6600GT or something like that. Everquest II is very demanding on the whole system, with either card i wouldn't be going down the wrong path. As for getting a new board stuff, i'm gonna build a whole new PC after this last year of high school, gonna build a Athlon 64 machine with PCI-Express for college, and that'll last me with minor upgrades along the way. So really this new card is only gonna do me for a year. I'll continue my research on both cards and come to a conclusion eventually, you guys are very helpfull, i'm finding out alot of things i didn't know
