      6800Gs, the AGP verision is like 230 bucks. Anyways, if u can find one, a X850XT AGP, get it, they're kinda rare, newegg no longer have them in stock. Also, teh X800XT ALL-IN WONDER is good, almost as good as the X850XT, and since it's all in wonder, it has tv tuner as well, costs 290 on newegg.com.

              Dude, go for the 6800GT 256MB, I got mine for about 250 on newegg.

              From EVGA, and you know their warranty? LIFETIME WARRANTY No matter what I do to it! Overclock, ect ect!

              Killer deal or what?

                  If he's got $$300 to spend get the EVGA 7800GT. From New Egg. I can't believe no one has suggested it.

                      There is a good reason no one has suggested it....

                        lol u all saying buy 6600gt or 6800gs or x850 when u can buy a 6800GT. 2x6600GT cant beat a 6800GT. 6800gt has more pipes and i has 256bit and u can make it in to a Ultra and unlock pipes.

                          You cannot unlock anything on a 6800gt, only the 6800 AGP.

                            I'm happy with my AGP x800xt all-in-wonder. I get 5500-5700 3dmark05 coupled with 1gb non-dc ram and a P4 3.0 prescott. I'm very happy with BF2 frame rates...and I can go right from A/V to hard drive, do TiVO, etc. with the card. You need at least a ~350W (pref 400-450W) PSU, much like some of the other suggestions.

                                Trust me, you cannot unlock anything on the 6800gt. On the 6800 AGP you can, but not the GT. You are mistaken.
