Best time to hunt Radeon 9800 Pro


Hi! Everyone, I am new here!
I just picked up a Radeon 9800 Pro by PowerColor online.
It’s a refurbished one, for less than $200.
Hey! Guess what, this babe runs like a dream.
Currently, I only have a AGP 4X system. The 3Dmark2001SE gives me a score of 15700.
It’s fast! I don’t know how much the card would give me if I upgrade my Motherboard to an AGP8X one. Would the performance be double?
Anyhow, I really pleased with this PowerColor, most of the 3D games run smooth on it.
I know it is no longer the fastest card on the market, the new X800 and Geforce 6 are coming. That’s why the price of 9800 are dropping.
Hey, I used today’s money to buy a yesterday’s king!
Highly Recommended.

Probably the only card that is better right now is the 9800 XT... but it's still a great card. BTW, I would rather have a semi-old, yesterday's king (9800 pro) rather than tomorrow's lemon (geforce).
