Important question - please read

Hello.

First of all, sorry for the ambigious title.

Ok folks.
I am going to buy a new PC soon.
Its a A64 3200+.
I have gone over budget. Obviously, the biggest sucker is the 6800GT.

My question is simple. If I go for an older model...For instance, one of those sub 200$ cards... will there be significant difference in IMAGE QUALITY? I mean, obviously there will be a big drop in fps... but, in terms of image quality... will there be a difference?

Also, while we are at it, can someone recommend a sub-200$ card with GOOD image quality and GOOD fps?

No drop in image quality to a 9800pro or 6600GT. Those would be your 2 options at the 200 dollar price point. Unless you are doing video editing or compliling, you will actually GAIN if you lower your processor and keep the GT.
