I am thinking about buying a Gecube X800XL AGP.

I don't know if this is worth the price. I can pay about $200 and less.
Actually I was thinking about buying it for Medieval 2: Total war, which is not out yet untill winter. So I have some time to wait if the price will come down.

Also have DOOM3, AOE3.etc

EDIT also, i can't seem to find the Memory Clock for the card, only shows the Core clock. Are they the same?

If this card ever comes down to 200 dollars before 2007 i will definitly buy it. I was always looking at ATI cards and didn't know anything about nVidia.

Is it possible to overclock this card?

EDIT: I just read a few reviews about the 7800GS, and now I can't decide which one to get.

Also, would my comp be able to take it to the max? Or would it hold it back?

Just make sure you have a good PSU. A good one would be either Antec or another well known brand. Just make sure the +12V rail is over 25A, preferably over 30A. Dual-rail is quite popular when it comes to PSUs, like +12V1 17A and +12V2 19A is something you can often see.
 
I don't know if this is correct, but there is a sticker on the PSU, and it has a chart that says 12V and under it it says 18A, there is one for 5V and it says 30A, 3.3V for 25A. Is that enough?? ALso, i have a 450 MAX PSU. I have a Sync Tech S-450ATX.
 
I'm not entirely sure that's gonna be enough on th +12V rail, usually it should be 25A or more but wait for others to post their oppinions/facts.
