what kind of video card do u suggest?

[Lloyd Christman]

Hi, I was wondering what kind of video card u guys think i should get, I've been told about the 6600GT and the 6800GT, but im not sure if i have enough money to get those yet. My specs are:

Intel Pentium 4 3.06Ghz processor
1024 MB of memory
160GB Hard drive

Any suggestions would help....i'm looking for a REALLY GOOD gamin video card that is AGP and 256MB

Here is an excellent article showing you all the different AGP cards, and how well they perform against each other.

I think this would be a good card for you.

^it does well above in the benchmark, beating the 6800gt(which is $60 more).
OR for a few dollars more,

It's slightly better than the x800pro card.

If that's too much, a 6600gt would be like $150(for a 128mb, the xfx 256mb is $185ish). A 6800 will run you $170(128mb).
