I'm guessing you have an agp slot.You should see decent performance.I have a Sapphire agp 3850,2 gigs of ram and an AMD 4200x2 .Plays most games very well @1400x900.I can max UT3 play ,Far Cry2 and Cysis both @ medium settings.And it pretty much eats anything else at this point.You should be good for a while.
Sorry I didn't get back to you quickly.But if it's game footage you are trying to do,try using xfire.I have a Pinnicle Pro card,much like your's.They are always buggy at best,and really only good for watching tv on you computer.
Sounds like a power issue.I have almost the same rig,Soltek KT8939,X2 4200,AGP 3850(Sapphire)XP3,Antec 550 true(old 1).Plus I'm pushing a Koolance case with 2 pumps.Try Changing the power cables around,Put nothing but the vid card on the 2 you use for that if you can.
You can't crossfire with agp.The best you are going to get is a 3850 agp.I just put 1 in my rig a couple of weeks ago to replace my aging 6800gt,and I must say it is an impressive card.Just make sure you can feed it with a good power supply.
The 510 had some problems.I called Logitec about 3 years ago becuase mine was acting fruity,they sent me a 518 for a replacement.If yours is still under warranty,call them.
A lot depends on how much time you want to put into this.I've been watercooling for more than ten years.Used to build my own stuff,but it's costly,and takes lots of time not just building the thing,but the research involved to make sure all the parts fit.For the last 5 years ,I've been running a Koolance 601b with 3 blocks,and it has been just fine.Mind you,I.m not much of an overclocker anymore,I run this for dust and noise control,and stability.This rig is insanely stable.Best advice,join a watercooling forum,ask lots of questions,do yuor homework.
I've found my Koolance 601B to be just fine.I don't run it for overclocking,but more for dust control,and the noise level.I also run a mix of regular anti freeze and water.Built a couple of Danger Den custom setups,but didn't want the hassle anymore.Yes it is costly,but it all comes down to wants,needs and cash.My rig has been running now for 4 and a half years,and I have nothing but good to say about it.Also,I was lucky enough to get the old Koolance 939 block,which is very good.Never understand why they stopped making them.
