Need a new Video Card

[Sykil]

Yeah, I fried my old Sapphire 9800 PRO. >_< Don't ask...

Anyway, need a new one. Must be AGP. I was thinking a) the same card again or b) a 6600GT, but I'm not sure what brand GT I would get. You can recommend something else too, but I'm looking for less than $250. Preferably under $220. Newegg has a sale on my old card (woohoo, 14 dollars off and free shipping!), but 6600GT may be a better deal,

Specs:
AMD Athlon 64 2800+ @ 2.0GHz
MSI K8T Neo
2x512MB RAM

The 6600 GT and the 6800nu are wil both be somewhat of an improvement over the 9800 you had. I have been really happy with my 6800 that was upgraded from a 9700 Pro.

Also, would you be willing to sell the stock HS and retaining pins form the 9800? Might even buy the whole card from you.

I reccomend the eVGA 6600GT, it's a great card. I own an eVGA 6800GT and it's a great card, I'm SURE the 6600GT is also a great card.

MSI's 6600GT is a fantastic card, offering the same performance as some of the other manufacturers, and will save you a good $20 to $30.

I'd like to keep it for myself, but I'll see. . .

Thanks for your input, guys.
