Is this a good deal on a 6600GT? I see that it's PCI-E. Are they normally cheaper than their AGP counterparts?

That is a good price, the 6600GTs are actually slightly cheaper in the pci-e flavor because they are PCI-e native chips, and need a special bridge chip to convert the signal to AGP.

The actual cost difference is only $5-10 usually for the same brand/model, if any different at all.

Id jump on it, im thoroughly enjoying my 6600GT.

Thanks for pointing to that site. I found the MSI 6600GT agp cheaper than on Newegg. $8 cheaper =)
