Would a 9700/9800pro be overkill on this system?

Well i see that 9800pro's are going for <$100 in teh classified section here so i was thinking of picking up one for my current 'get me by for now' rig.

I have an AGP 4x slot with a celeron 1.1ghz, 384mb PC133. I am pulling out the celeron and putting in a 1.3ghz(around there) P3. Would one of those cards benifit me, or should i just get a 9600pro/xt?

I don't play any hardcore graphics games like HL2 or D3, i mostly play EA sports games.
 
glad to see you're still around bro.....

Well if you get a 9700/9800 card, that certainly won't be a bottleneck on that system. I'd go for whatever is cheapest..... and I'm guessing that would be the 9600pro/xt.
 
Glad to be back houserat. Can't wait to dump this thing though for something will some speed :p
