It's-a-time to buy a new videocard!

Yes, the time has come that I can finally ditch this 6-generation-behind Geforce 4 MX. I am buying a new Videocard, and I want to buy one that excels in every imaginable way, therefore i need some experts advice.

What I want, is an ATI card that has Passive cooling (so its COMPLETELY noiseless), handles Pixel Shader 2 well, connects to the motherboard with AGP, and does not eat 283472984 watts of power (power consumption becomes an increasing nuisance with my computer running 24/7).

I'm thinking of a Radeon 9800xt but I've absolutely no clue if it has a model that meets my requirements. Any ideas?

edit: the card is to accompany a Gigabyte nForce 3 250gb Socket 939 motherboard with an Athlon 64 3200+ (Venice, I think, supports sse3) in it, if that matters any.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Uh, I composed that sentence wrong. I already have that motherboard and cpu, I'm about to kill the shitty Geforce 4 MX in it. And yea I know a PCIE mobo wouldve been much nicer and I'm kicking myself because of it, but the old mobo i had to switch was SO horrible that I didn't even mind buying this Gigabyte one with AGP only, fully knowing that pcie (or rather, the lack of it) will cause problems in the future.

Either way, I found 2 cards that match my description, the Sapphire 9600 XT Ultimate and the Sapphire 9800 XT Ultimate. They come with passive cooling, AGP and they would go well with my current mobo/cpu - I guess.

Most amazing jew boots
