I'm the type of person that buys a system once every 6 years. I don't usually upgrade until everything becomes obsolete. Before I purchased my HP P4, I used to have a home-made PII 400mhz computer I had the balls to play OFP on a PII, it did work, but I played a slideshow most of the time. Will a Geforce 6600 last me for another good 3 or 4 years? I'm not planning to buy another motherboard, my 2.6ghz CPU is still pretty good on it.

I have a HP A250N model. It has both PCI(two open) and AGP( one, assuming my current card is using it). Is it possible to have two graphic cards at the same time operating?

Can someone tell me the difference between PCI express and AGP8X?

Thanks, I appreciate your advice.

Are DX8.0 cards pretty cheap now. Is there any DX9.0 cards that are less than 250$. What's the best strategy? buy a cheap DX 8.0 or get a 9.0. Computer chips update so fast, I fear that 9.0 will go obsolete. Will 9.0 last another 2-4 years?

I seen rumors that 'if you can play OFP:R/OFP then you can play AA' before. Since this game is made in Czech, I hope they recognize that most people are not hard-core gamers, that spend 200$ on new graphics cards annually.
