GeForce 6600 PCI-E vs. Radeon 9700 AGP. Any comparisons out there?

I have a Radeon 9700 Pro AGP now and am looking at swapping motherboards for
a PCI-E. Since this means a video card swap, I want to put in something at
least as fast as the old reliable 9700 Pro.

I am looking at a PNY GeForce 6600 that is going on sale at Compusa
tomorrow. How does it stack up?

Here is a link to the card:

The motherboard I am getting allows SLI, so the option of doubling cards in
one factor in looking at Nvidia.

But doesn't support SLI. Other models of the 6600GT do.
