6600 agp or 9800 pro?
My video card is about to die I have a feeling so in a week I will need a
new video card. Which should I go for the 6600 or the 9800 pro? Going by price and bang for the buc k seems the 9800 pro is the best deal for needing a card ASAP but the 6600 agp that came out a week ago is starting to drop in price so I dunno anyone got any ideas on the price of the 6600 next week?

from what i've read on it the 6600 is more powerful than the 9800 pro. the
9800 pro is a good card and can just about beat my 5900xt with ease. and the 6600 can beat mine in everything. so go for a 6600agp or if u can afford it a 6800 standard or GT sp "Anthony" wrote in message news:Hmood.1724$3I.1088@okepread01...

Anthony I have a 9800 Pro and would almost consider buying a 6600 GT AGP as an upgrade. But not quite. If I could get someone to buy mine for $150 I'd buy a 6600 GT. -- Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com |

Hmm, I just looked up some prices and found what's probably your $139 9800 Pro, that's a Sapphire Atlantis, which is a 128 bit card. Which only suckers buy. In case you're unfamiliar with the terminology I'm taking about the memory bandwidth, 256 bit is far superior to 128 bit. I'm not talking about memory size 256 Megaytes is not that superior to 128 Mb. -- Steve ¤»Inglo«¤ www.inglostadt.com |

This really depends on what CPU you have in your PC? If your CPU is a
bottleneck then you are wasting your money getting a faster card unless you plan to upgrade the rest of your PC. "Anthony" wrote in message news:Hmood.1724$3I.1088@okepread01...

Here's the 660 GT for $225.
