Heyyo,

I say ATI Radeon 9800 PRO, that card pwns in speed and quality. If it's too expensive go for a ATI Radeon 9600XT or PRO. The 6600's below $300? maybe american, but not canadian. 9800 PRO's a good deal card.

I checked out the NV 6600GT and I must say, aboot time Nvidia got back on track making cards worth the cash. This card's definately worth the price, if you can get this card? get it. :)

great. im getting a card mard approves of.
if you had to chose between the 6600gt, and the 6800, go with the 6600GT. it's faster.

Heyyo,

Yeah, I had probs with nvidia in the past gettin' some lam0rz cards, but now they seem to be getting back on track, so I'll support them if it's true. And from some benchmarks it seems that the 6600GT is one of the best AGP cards out there, especially pricewise, not much more expensive than a ATI Radeon 9800 PRO, but the preformance difference seems nice. ;)
