6600GT AGP vs 6800NU??

I'm in the market for a new video card, and have been pulling out my hair deciding which one I should buy. I'm nout sure how much better the 6800NU is than the 6600GT AGP for the price, so I was wondering what you guys thought? Is the 6800 worth the extra cash? Will I see a considerable difference between the two? Owners of each card please respond, I don't want a bunch of biased answers because you all own the 6800, so if you're a 6600GT owner please respond as well. A link to benchmarks of the two would also be nice if you can find any. Thanks in advance.
 
1) I play at 1600x1200 in MOST games, I can sacrifice a resolution or two if I need to
2) AA/AF doesn't really matter to me, personally I've hardly seen a difference with it on
3) Games I'm currently playing: Enemy Territory MOSTLY, Half Life 2, NFSU2, and (don't laugh it's a good game) Rollercoaster Tycoon 3. Doom 3 was beaten already, but I'll probably start it up again
4) Specs: AMD 3000+ 939pin CPU, Abit AV8, 512 DDR400, 7200RPM 40gb Western Digital, yadda yadda..
 
That is an amazing price by the way, considering its $299 everywhere else I've seen it (retail and online) but I've always wondered if BFG was a reliable brand? If so I'm thinking of getting that 6800.
 
Nice system, well if you play mostly on 1600x1200 then the 6800 is your card, because the 6600GT has only 128bit memory vs 256bit on the NU meaning it performs bad under high resolutions. And I think the deal Sonic has linked is a steal
edit: yeah, the BFG is a good manufacturer, and this card even comes overclocked out of the box.
