Need advice buying AGP video card

I'm considering to upgrade my AGP video card to an X600 card (about US$ 90) or an X700 card (about US$ 100), do u think it's a good decision? Someone told me that X series don't support DirectX 9.0c and i'd be better off buying an X1300, but that means I have to wait for a while since AGP X1300 is nowhere yet to be found.

Oh, and my budget range is only in USD$ 100 - 130 max, which one do u think I should buy?

PS: I don't plan to upgrade my CPU and M/B anytime soon, and even if i do, I have another computer with about the same specs which can use my new AGP video card.

Go for a Geforce 6600, best bang for the buck . X600 and X700 are just not worth it, sorry.

Right now with the rebate you can get a 6600GT for $120. It will handle just about any game you toss at it (at least on medium settings)

(and by the way, the X700 and X600pro both do support directx 9)

I'm happy with my 6600. I'd used an overclocked fx5200 up til then, but Americas Army 2.4 was getting a little choppy, and FarCry was unplayable, IMO. It'll be at least a year 'til I go PCIe, and then I gotta consider ddr2, and whatnot. The 6600gt chokes a little on the FEAR demo, but works great for all of the games I play on a regular basis. And even the FEAR demo at proper settings is OK.

Extreme Tech (Fall 2005) had a video card comparo where they played HL2, Doom3, FarCry and UT 2004 on x850xt pe, x800xt pe, x800 pro, 9800pro-128, 6800ultra, 6800gt, 6800-128, 6600gt-128. Then they calculated Dollars Per FPS, and the 6600gt came out the most economical.

If yu want to stick with ATI I would look for a 9800 pro you should be able to find one for around 120.00 these days. if not then I would go with the 6600 series as suggested.

my advice

Go for the geforce 6600!

Thanks guys, but i think I'll wait till the techspot free giftaway season ends. Maybe this time I'll get lucky. Oh, and I live in Indonesia, where a 6600GT costs about 200$ (and an X700 pro costs about 100$, which is why I'm considering buying it)

damn thats a longway for newegg to ship u a nice 120$ 6600GT =[
