Okay, I've been looking at getting a new graphics card.  Of the ones on this page, which ones would you suggest.

X800 128mb or X700 256mb. If I had to settle, I'd go for the 6600.

That site is way overpriced.

For $30 less, you can get a 6600 gt, which is more powerful than any of those cards listed there.

I highly recommend this card:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122206

or this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122201

The only difference between the two cards is one is PCI express (second one) and the other is AGP (the first one).

It may be cheaper than any of those cards on outpost.com, but it is much more powerful than any card they sell.

Yeah, but that's AGP, and I only have pci-express.

The second one on my list is PCI express, buy that one and I assure it will surpass any card on outpost.com.

The 6600 gt is a native PCI express card btw.
