Default Looking for some advice/help :)

Heya guys.

Im looking at getting a new Nvidia 7800GS OC AGP card after this thursday (if i do well on my exam results lol)

I was wondering, as i only now have a Radeon 9800pro, would this card fit in my case (i dont mean slot, i mean case, is it alot bigger than a 9800pro? could anyone post pics of the card if they have it inside their case so i can get a rough idea? thanks ^^)

Is it worth me upgrading at all now? Im running an AMD64 3000+, and a gig of ram.. on a AGP system... would a better idea be to hold on for christmas and just get a pcie system?

This card is quite alot of money and i dont want to waste it and find out the card doesnt actually fit in my case, or if it will be bottlenecked.

Any info or help is appreciate, thanks in advance

The best I can offer is the dimensions of the card its 9.8 x 2.8 x 6.8 inches with a weight of 1.9 pounds. you could have got this information from google as I did.

I have this card in my older PC and it's housed in an Gigabyte Aurora 3D Chassis case, the edge of the card sits about 1 inch from where the hard drive case is.

As for picture's sadly I have no camera. The only really way your going to know is to measure the inside of your case.

It's a very good card and wil play almost everything at max details and high resolution. Wether you get it or not is only the decision you can make
