    Default Three Cards, One Ring, Thoughts and Advice Welcome

    Verto Geforce 7600GS 512 DDR2 memory PCI-e or AGP
    BFG Geforce 7600GT OC 256 GDDR3 memory
    BFG Geforce 7900GT OC 256 GDDR3 memory


    The 'ring' in question is Medieval 2: Total War of course
    Also wondering if you need a special slot interface to use PCI-e

    Right now I'm running a AGPx4 Geforce Ti 4200

    Yes, to Run PCIe you need a PCIe slot on your mobo., since your current card is AGP it dosent look like you have.
    Now, the 7900GT is obviosly better than the two 7600's you listed, with the GT being faster than the GS.

    Do most Pentium 4s come equipped with the PCI-e Slot? I'm asking because I was told the AGP is auxiliary. Also, I understand that one can modify their slot manually with minimal effort to allow PCI-e. Is this true?

    A pentium 4 is a processor, it is your motherboard that comes with all the slots, and it really depends on the motherboard that you get. You will have to find out what your motherboard is.

    Ah, thanks. I'll run CPUZ. Added a quick edit to my prior post.

    That will depend on your motherboard, not the CPU.

    EDIT: You seem to know what I mostly said, so I'll leave with this:

    I'd say buy a new comp, if you have the funds. If not, prepare to build.

    LOL, you have excactly the same GPUas my old, with the option to buy my new one (7600 GS). At least both 7600's are available in AGP. My (PNY Verto GF 7600GS) is available on both AGP4X and AGP8X. I always thought that I had only AGP 4X, cuz CPU-Z said so, but when I installed my 7600 it said that it was AGP8X...
