Good hardware and I'm now even more convinced you need a 6800GS. Happy
holiday!

Personally, I wouldn't get any less than a 6600GT but depending on how
powerful your CPU is you might find it's not quick enough to allow your
GPU to operate at peak capacity. In many video card reviews the
relationship between the CPU and GPU is mentioned so people understand
that running a 7900GT on a mobo with a Sempron CPU is going to be a
waste of time. The Sempron will bottleneck the GPU's performance and it
would be money better spent to couple it with an A64 running @ 2.4 GHz
or better. If I had a mobo with an Athlon XP running @ 2+ GHz and 512
MB's RAM I would feel confident that a 6600GT would be a good investment.

I know, but I was trying to keep the cost down to about $150. This is a
system that is about 2 years old that is running an NVIDIA TI-4200. I
wanted to upgrade the VC before AGP costs sky rocket. I plan on building
a
new machine next year and I wanted to wait for the DX 10 compliant cards
came out so I could get one of those then.
What about this 6800 card as compared to the 6600GT?

Assuming this is not a good deal, would you go with the 6600GT 128MB or
the
6600 256MB card?
Thanks,
Bobby

You're really better off getting a 6800GS.

Me again. Thanks for all of your brand suggestions from my earlier

Next question, is a 6600GT for approximately $150 going to give mew a
lot more bang for the buck than a 6600 256MB for approximately $109?
Thanks,
Bobby
