I have the PCI express version and it is great for what I play...MS flight
sim...big improvement. I too had a 9600 AGP in the old pc..I guess the AGP
x700 should be a boost

It work good in battlefiels2. i got the pro "vivo" version with 256mb
of ram. It gpu is base on the x800 series "rv420" as the x700 is
rv410. In the setting i always use the maximum available of details
possible and it work find.
I've got the Sapphire 256mB version in a new build. Seems stable and
well-made but I haven't done and real gaming with it yet. Actually the
heaviest game I play right now is Myst V and that runs just fine on the
9600 in my old Shuttle system so the extra memory and processing
horsepower on the X700 are probably wasted on me.
I upgraded to an X700 Pro from a 9600 pro. I've noticed a good bit of
difference and it works well. In games, I usually keep all settings to
high or very high and I haven't noticed any slow downs or such. Of
course, you must match that card with a good cpu and ram otherwise its
not of much use.
OTOH, for the same amount of money, you can get a 6600 GT, which is
much faster. But thats offtopic so I won't go there
Rather unfortunate that the X800GT isn't available in AGP form...
