GeForce 6600 AGP

Hi all,
I thought of replacing my existing FX5700LE with a new Inno3D GeForce 6600
AGP8 256MB.
http://www.inno3d.com/products/geforce6/6600.html

I know the 6600 is not the top end card, but this is the only GeForce 6
series AGP card I found.
It cost about 175 US$.
A 6600 GT card will cost about 270 US$ and a 6800 card will cost about 360
US$
Both will require me to replace the MB & CPU to support the PCI Express.

Any experience with this specific card ?
Is it worth the money ?

Thanks,
Tal

There are plenty of AGPx8 6600 GTs. Where do you live and why does it cost
so much. In the UK, you can get a GF6 6600 GT AGPx8 for around £150.

'tis an AGP 6600 GT from an Israeli. I don't know whether the price is
reasonable.

In the UK, PCI express cards are cheaper than AGP cards too!

Thanks (Toda
Here they are priced about the same. AGP are hader to find.
PCI express will require me to replace the MB, PCU, and RAM too

i go with the 6600 or 6600GT AGP for the most bang for the buck. You
might what to check out www.newegg.com. When they run a sale they
really run a sale! (upgraded to AMD64 90nm 3000+, gigabyte k8ns-939,
Mushkin 512MB DDR400 for $328 2 day shipping)

depending on brand/memory 6600GT AGP are <$200 US.

Check out some reviews. in some cases, with better cooling, a plain
6600 can be clocked to out perform teh 6600GT.
