Just because you can't afford to switch to a BTX mobo with PCIe, and all the other changes required to get to the current generation of hardware, doesn't mean that you have to suffer through HalfLife2 at 9.5 FPS. HIS has released an mid level AGP ATI X700 ATI card, and XYZ Computing has the review.
