Re: advice on AGP video card
I still like the look of the 6600GT over the 6800GS
My reasoning is purley based on core speed.IMO the 6800GS will not be massively better speced out to cover the 125 on average mhz slower GPU
On review the 6800 GS appears to have a GPU core speed of 325 to 400 mhz
GDDR speeds of between 1000 and 1100 12 pipelines 5 vertex shaders and 12 texture units
The 6600GT has a GPU core speed of 500 mhz GDDR speeds or 900 to 1000 mhz 8 pipelines 4 vertex shaders and 8 texture units
The better of the GT's clock in at £140 quid The better of the GS's top out at £170 if you can spend the extra by all means go with the GS if you think the pipelines will out weigh the core speed.
But Take a good look at the ATI range for £199 you can have an X850 xt a much better card imo over the nvidia range at the price or the better of the X800 Gto that imo again matches the 6800GS for 30 quid less
