i just bought a GeForce fx 5500oc for like 183-80 Mir should i keep the card and stick with m6 at radeon 8500?
 
any recomendations i dont wanna spend a tone but right now i got a 8500 thats actually doing okay for a 3 year old video card.i perfer readon by the geforce was on sale today
 
I hear the 6600 GTs are pretty good, I'm pretty sure they are available in AGP with that bridge chip. They can be had for around 200 or lower.

All the other cards like 5950 and such are still at their MSRP and you would just be wasting money.

I would go for 6600 GT, 6800LE or Ati 9800 Pro
 
6600GT AGPs are still over $215 as of this weekend. 9800pro is $180, heck anything equal in price to that FX5500 from ATI is better, check for a 9600pro is probably around the same price as that 5500 and much faster. I am going from an FX5500 to a 6600GT and I only had the FX for less than a year, but it is really slow at current games.
 
16 bucks over 200 isn't much really. I have seen some good deals at bestbuy for them at around 198, if you can get the 6600 under 200, i would jump on it.
