Just got the Dell 8400 with a Radeonx300 SE 128mb. This system is pretty fas and I am happy. Is it worth upgrading to the x700 as I can sell the x300 I got on ebay for about $40 and Best Buy sells the Radeon x700 256mb for $199.


IS it worth the Upgrade? I both game and play movies through a projector on my HTPC

Since you game, in short Yes...


But have you found an AGP X700 for 199.00?


Or is the Dell PCI-E?

 

[pestario]

Best Buy and Compusa have the PCI-E x700 for $199


The max resolution I can run on the projector is 1224 x 768


IS it still worth the upgrade running at those resolutions

 

[DaddyRabbit]

Yes the X700 should give you much better game play at those resolutions.


X300se = 4 pixel pipelines, 64bit memory bus etc.

X700 = 8 pixel pipelines, 128bit memory bus etc.
