Let us know how that plays for you, It does look like an excellent AGP solution. I will probably get that or the 6800 depending on how prices look once we get closer to March and the BF2 release. Im currently running a 5950. I would sell it off pretty cheap, but then of course there is the matter of shipping charges from Israel.... doh!

Maybe im just repeating what everybody knows, but regardless,
http://www.tomshardware.com is a fantastic source of information with tons of relevant benchmarks for video cards and whatever else....

Aye, the 6600GT is a lovely price point for the performance.
You won't know yourself with the speeds, ABE.

anything would be better than the fx5200  :lol:
hope it is well worth it as i cant find many like screenshots of game usen the card.
if i read the screen in game i think iam geting 30- 40 fps in game but i could be reading this wrong.
all i hope is that i will be able 2 handle bf2 good. :salute:
