Is a budget AGP upgrade worth it? That is the question Legion Hardware is asking today, their answer might surprise you:

For roughly $130 US the Radeon X1600 Pro is an ideal upgrade solution for AGP users looking to breath a little more life into their system. With maximum in-game quality settings activated the X1600 Pro is very capable of tackling titles such as Doom 3, Far Cry, Quake 4, and UT2004 at 1024x768. Even those already using an X700 Pro graphics card or something of this caliber will benefit from such an upgrade, the improvements are clearly evident.
