I have the Radeon X300 SE. Overclocked, and with the latest drivers, i barely get away with xbox-like performance.

Its a great price if you wanna be able to run the game with low settings. I had that card and upgraded to the x800 xl and I can run everything maxed. All my settings are high, resolution at 1280x1024 and i get 100+ fps. I think the x800 xl only about $250 now. Its 256 bit, 256mb, 16 pipeplines, and amazing.

No the 9800 is way better than the 6600. However the 6600GT is much better than the 9800 Pro. Both are somewhat decent cards(i wouldnt call them good), but in my opinion hte 6600GT is nice, and probably can get you in the graphics range were you can have the settings high.

right about the camo but i think there is fix for that. i have a 6600GT and it runs great all settings on high and the resolution maxed out which for my screen is 1280 by 1024.

It takes away ingame text, which makes it almost useless.
