So I want to buy a new videocard to replace my old gforce 4mx which has suffered enough.
I'm looking for something in the price range of 200?- - 300? (dunno how much that is in pounds). I've looked over the current range of cards and I'm planning to get a a hercules 3d prophet 9800 all-in-wonder SE. Not only is it a good card and has a lot of video-in-out features, but apparently you have a chance of 50% to softmod it to a 9800 pro too if you enable the 4 other rendering pipes that might be broken.
Do you think it is worth the gamble or would an other card fit me better?

EDIT: my mobo is only 4X agp? should I just wait some time, and buy a new mobo with pci-express?
