Card advice

[Fawkes]

Ive recently sold off the guts of my rig to build a new Athlon 64 pc.

I've already purchased-

AMD Athlon64 3200+ (Venice)

and

DFI Lanparty UT NF4 SLI-D

I've got just under £200 to spend on a video card.

I'm thinking of getting either...

Another Geforce 6600GT

or

a Radeon X800 XL.

Would likely get a BFG or Leadtek 6600GT.

Ive seen a Connect3D X800XL in my price range, never owned a Connect3D myself but a friend of mine advised against them, anyone else own one?

The X800XL is much faster than a 6600GT.

if the x800 xl is in your pricerange get it, it smacks the 6600GT around. connect3d is a reliable brand.

I have a conect 3D video card (X800Pro) in my brothers computer. My brother knows nothing about computers and he does not know the first thing about taking care of your comp. His card has not once failed. I also have a Concet 3d Pro in my old computer which broke once. The card was replaced free of charge with no hassle. Currently the only people I would advise agianst are Elsa. Their warrenty system is complicated and outdated.

get the BFG 66000

Why would you even suggest that card over the X800XL?
The X800XL is a much much faster card.

get the BFG 66000

I like BFG products (used to own a BFG 5900 Ultra) but the BFG 6600GT is way overpriced compared to the other 6600GT offerings. You can get the EVGA 6600GT for $145 shipped after a $30 rebate.
