6200 or 9600

[doubleJ]

Hello...
I'm looking for a cheap agp card to replace my 9000pro. I play Quake (original quake, not 2/3/4), Diablo, Forsaken, etc... I dabble in a new game every now and then, but not very frequently.
I guess you would be asking why I want a new video card, then.
Hehehe...
It's so that my wife's computer can get the 9000 to update her rage pro chip. There are a bunch of things that she can't play.
So, what would I be better served with...
6200 with 64-bit memory
9600pro
If I can end up with a 6600gt or 9800pro from ebay for $50 I'll go that route. Outside of that, these are my 2 main choices.

Cant some 6200's be unlocked to 6600's?

If u can get a 256MB 9600 Pro I'd suggest that, those are awesome and will actually play most modern games at low settings without a hitch.

Yes. But why bother? I'd get a 6600LE or something and bios flash for the extra pipes if you can. That's 8 pipes if you can do it. And the clocks are close to a 6600GT, if not a 6600.

With all the people unloading 9800pros for newer cards, you should be able to find a used one. If not, get the 6200.
