You can get a Sapphire 9500 Pro for about $160. It's right on par iwth the 4800 w/o FSAA and AF. Once you turn either of those on it'll dust that 4800. Just a thought. Plus you can OC the 9500 really well, especially the Sapphire because of it's very effective cooling.

I´m going to update my current card Gforce 2mx 400, But I can´t spend too much money what kind of card would you recommend me if my ASUS A7S333 Motherboard just support AGP 4X.
Maybe 200 euros...
enough to play doom3 and halflife 2 decently and not with slowdowns like all unreal engine games ...

I saw it at: http://www.dljsystem.com/ the other night. I just checked again and now they are sold out. But you can get the 9800 Pro for like $360 now. I've read some really good reviews about the Sapphire cards. They put a different fan and heatsink on them that makes them easier to OC.
I was just about to pick one up when I heard that the 5900 will be out in a 128 MB variant shortly for the same price.

thanks meatshield, you rule man 
but while I'm at it, I just ordered that Ti4800, cause I'm going to mod the thing up and OC it anyways so when I'm done with it, it will be a fairly good card for a while. maybe this system will hold out another year or so till I can revamp everything again. new specs, 2.4ghz (runs at 2.81 fine but no need too yet) 60 gb 7200 rpm hdd, GF4 Ti4800 SE vid card, 1 gig pc2100 ddr ram (will be 1 gig of much faster DDR later this summer) and I have a gigabyte p4 titan motherboard, I don't know the exact make cause I don't want to go write all the damn numbers down. and I have a case with a window and 7 total fans, processor runs at 29-30 degrees C at full load. also I have a sound blaster PCI 512 sound card, usb 2.0, 17" moniter (may be going to 19" soon) and really awesome stereo speakers cause I just run the AUX to my stereo and blast emersive 3d sound in my face, lol. btw, I am poor because of this computer. only payed about 900 total for all you see, but it's all name brand and everything, like micron cas 2.5 ram. I just had some hookups and a discount because of the tech school I go to. anyways, thanks to everyone who writes decent things in my threads, that would be all of you in this one.
