    Best single slot card around $150?

    Basically I'm looking to replace my 7900GTS. I am fine with the performance but it's a dual slot card. I'm trying to do an even swap after selling my 7900GTS but right now there seems to be a huge gap in graphics cards. There are 8800s ($300+) and 8600s ($100). Is there anything out there...

    which midrange card to get

    X700 pro is $124 at monarch. Now I know the 6600GT is faster but the cheapest one I can find is the evga for $165. Is the 6600GT worth an extra $41? I have no interest in playing DOOM3 but it seems the 6600GT is even faster in HL2. But is it worth the premium?

    Can anyone comment on the AIW capture quality? Radeon 7000 up to 9800. Does it look as good or almost as good as the source? Does anyone have small video samples from a capture at the highest quality (a few seconds is fine as I know the file sizes are large). How about still-picture...
