Opinions on video cards?

I'im looking to upgrade my video card, and was looking at these two. Any comments (positive or negative) on either choice or both would be greatly appreciated.

Card 1

Card 2


There is only a $1 difference in the price of these two, so that's not really a concern.
 
Fix your links.

...OK, already done.

and good call on the XFX 6600GT. I was posting the same thing.

Asus is a better brand, and it's clocked higher. But the Chaintech has more RAM, and it should be able to match the Asus' clocks. I think you'd be better off with a 128MB 6600GT. You should be able to find one for around $185.
 
you can get a used Leadtek 6600 vanilla for $70 at newegg
I would just get a 6600gt from leadtek...cheap, but best quality you can find 😉

and get 128mb
 
Ok, I fixed my original links. Sorry for the messed up ones. I also have another question that's related, and pretty important in the matter. My mobo is slightly older (from 2002), and the AGP slot is "rated" 4x/2x. An 8x card will still work right, I just won't get all the possible data transfer speed?
