    Nvidia Noob question

    I just got an eVGA 6600GT AGP card to tide me over for about 6 months. I installed it and the latest drivers and everything seems good. I was a little disappointed that I couldn't run very high settings in BF2 though, mostly all set to medium. Now my real question is that I downloaded...

    Best AGP passively cooled card?

    I'm looking for the best passively cooled AGP card for less than $200. If not passively cooled than as quiet as possible. I only game with BF2 and it plays well on my 9600pro so I'm pretty sure any newer cards will run it well too (I don't need all the eye candy turned on). I saw that...
