well, how are you all doing? what I am looking for is a decent video card, nothing that will impress Jesus ok? LANWAR28 is coming up soon and I need some opinions on these cards I have eyed recently.They are all 6600's, and my budget is $150, if you can reccomend something else go right ahead. It needs VGA too btw.
has to be AGP MAX 4x,
yeah there isn't much to this PC it is however just something to use at LANs and thats about it. (my real baby is in my sig and the other one is on another desk.)
here are the three cards I have been looking at:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130232 <eVGA 6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814145112 <Chaintech 6600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814121196 <ASUS 6600

if you have anything else that maybe goes to at mose $160 or maybe a small push I can cope in price go ahead.
I know my mobo does AGP 4X max, but I don't want a card that does 2x/4x rather 4x/8x AGP.
thanks in advance.
 
I had a 256 meg 6600 and it was a POS. Yeah it overclocked well, but it didn't hold a candle to the 6600 GT. Read some benchmarks on the 6600 GT and you will find that a 256 meg 6600 non-GT is a gimmick designed to fool gullible people into paying more money for something completely useless. It fooled me until I tried playing Halo and my friends 9700 pro was kicking my ass in frames per second.

That said, get this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150089&CMP=OTC-pr1c3watch&ATT=Video+Cards
 
k well, edited that out then thanks for the point out, but I can't use that card it needs VGA since I am using a VGA monitor. It only has DVI and S-Video. but thanks for the point out.
 
the card comes with 2 dvi to vga converters :)
dual DVI on a card that cheap is a major plus. If you ever choose to go with LCDs, your eyes will thank you!
 
nice, thanks man, I'm liking it so far. (duh the spex say it has a converter anyway)
for 146 thats not bad, and XFX does kick some ass out there. If anyone still wants to suggest I am putting this one down in the favorites, so once I get my $$$ I will buy.
thank for suggestions Zinn.
