Well i guess that means the min for the DX9 client is a NV 6 series or ATI X1k series.

Dont choose a card based on results on a benchmark site.. Go read reviews instead.
People always OC their GPUs, CPUs, and memory to try and get the highest score. So review sites are the best bet for performance out of the box, not a site with a bunch of numbers :\

ocing your video card has way more risk than reward, i mean u max oc a video card your looking at a few frames per second at best unless your at the bare min and 2 or 3 fps more means a game will run smooth for you compared to stock.
now overclocking your processor and ram thats another matter entirely. but i think anyone is insane to pay for a factory overclocked card that probably at best adds maybe 2 fps over the stock version and costs more than a stock.
but to not overclock some processors on the other hand like say c2d is just a crime.
What risk is there? Just dont be stupid and let your card overheat, know the signs of over heating and lower the speeds before something actually happens. And i got FAR more than just 2-3 FPS when i OCed my R9800P, although i havent tried it with my 8800GTS yet.
Also, no one said anything about getting a factory OCed card :p

Yea basically.. if you upgrade to a SM3 capable AGP card right now, that same card wont work on any future motherboard you get. So its either get an AGP card for now and waste some money on another GPU that uses PCIe when you get a new mobo, or just wait and save up for a new mobo and PCIe GPU.

Yep that works.
Anything that is a NV 6 Series (6200, 6600, 6800, etc) or ATI X1k (x1200, 1600, 1800, etc) series or newer will work.

People getting ****ed at the SM3 thing are blaming the wrong people.. Dont blame CCP for being smart and using something thats up to date. Dont forget how long we've had the current trinity engine, i dont think they wanted to use something that wasnt the best at the time if we were going to be stuck with it another few years.
Anyway, blame ATi for not being able to include SM3 in that generation, or blame your own damn self for not doing your research.

Ummm.. no S939 always had PCIe as far as i can remember... S754 was the early Althon 64 socket.
