7900 GS...full stop.
The ATi card makes no sense, unless you plan on running Vista on that system.
Also, the ATi card's performance pales in comparison to the Nvidia.

So in this case the NVIDIA card is the one to get.

wait 1 month as the 3850 should be out soon, it should beat everything under $200 usd.

Yes Ati does suck on the high end but in the mid range the 1950 pro is owning, and ati's low end cards are good for the money, the 3850 should do very well in this area.

AGP? ???

if you can, it's time for an upgrade. An AGP 7900GS is more expensive than it's PCI-E counterpart. same goes for just about any card that has both AGP and PCI-E versions

I would say if you plan to spend for high end, future-proof yourself...

And yes, I most certainly say choose 7900GS
