     |  Graphics card woes... What to get to get my bye for the next year? Ok, my 9800 Pro bit the dust. I need a video card to last me until next year when I finaly upgrade my whole system to a PCIe setup. I'm looking at either a : FX6600, FX6600gt, 6800xt, or saving even more money withy a 9800 Pro with a r360 core (XT flashable). I mainly don't want to brake my bank and looking for input on what to get. I play CSS, Morrowind, Americas Army and thats about it for now. MIght get into BF2 for lans and Hellgate London looks interesting... Links to cards I have looked at... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127170 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130220 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127164 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102477 ... For some reason this post is not taking hard returns... __________________ Just added x700... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814161147

| If I were you, I would most definitely buy the first MSI. The MSI 6600GT 128mb. My friend got the MSI 6600 256mb and has had several problems with it. Hope whichever card you get satisfies your needs and you have no problems. Good Luck!

| http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814127170 Gah!!!! I cant link anything.... But the MSI NX6600GT-VTD128SP Geforce 6600GT 128MB 128-bit GDDR3 VIVO AGP 4X/8X Video Card - Retail would be my choice. Edit: "it" doesnt like to show me the correct stuff either. nor does it like my enter key.

| I also found these but just don't know if it is worth throwing out the extra cash for one more years worth of use seeing how I just want something that is the same or just a little better than the 9800 pro.... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130202 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814140067
