After many years of reliable gaming, my Ati 9700pro passed away last night. I was trying to make it last until I had enough cash for a pci-x setup. So I am here asking you all what you think of these two cards:
Sapphire X800 GTO: $210
Brand SAPPHIRE
Model 100131
Chipset
GPU Radeon X800GTO
Core clock 400MHz
PixelPipelines 12

Memory Clock 980MHz
Memory Size 256MB
Memory Interface 256-bit
Memory Type GDDR3

or stay with the lower price
XFX 6600GT- $146
Brand XFX
Model PVT43ANDF3
Chipset
GPU Geforce 6600GT
PixelPipelines 8
Memory
Memory Clock 1000MHz
Memory Size 128MB
Memory Interface 128-bit
Memory Type GDDR3

I am trying the cheapside so I do not cut into my new rig's budget. Hopefully getting a 7800GT and this will have to last about 6-9 months. My rig is currently ECS 865pe, P4 3ghz Prescott, 1gig OCZ Performance Series 3500 ddr, SB Audigy 2. Any thoughts, opinions, or experiences with these cards would be appreciated.
