MSI RX800 or XFX 6600GT or Abit 700Pro-256?

hi,

I am not a gammer, however I just want to start some mid range gaming. I have X2 3800 and buying A8N - SLI premium, CORSAIR XMS 2GB.

Can you help me to decide about my three choices, I don't want to spend more than $125 for the card. Of course you can suggest me any other card if you think my choices are bad.

. MSI RX800
. XFX 6600GT
. Abit 700Pro-256

Some one suggested me to go for RX800 as it has 12 pipeline.

Do you guys think that 256 RAM of Abit 700Pro can make some difference than other cards? Do memory really makes a lot of difference?

128 meg x800 is much better than 256 meg x700 Pro.

Get the MSi x800 for $99.
For reference, it scores 10885 in 3dm2k3 here and is seen as an x800 Pro.

Great suggestion, thanks I am almost decide about X800. However still I want to get input about 6600GT.

I see now 6600gt EVGA has good deal.
linky $110+tax after rebate
It has 8 pipeline

Do X800 beats 6600GT too?
I googled and found people got 13390/12421 with this card. I guess they over clocked it.

The X800 (vanilla) should handly beat a 6600GT
