What's the best AGP card right now for ~$200?

[Nebben]

What's the best value in a video card right this moment for a $150-200 price range? $200 is the absolute max. I'm building a PC for a friend and am unsure on what to go for... looking at Radeon 9800 Pro, 9600 XT... what do you think?

hmmm, there are some 6600GT AGP's that are under 200 bucks after a rebate, perhaps you could get your friend in on that deal. If not, then a 9800 Pro would be fine, or possibly a 9600XT.

6600 GT if you can find one. if not, go 9800 pro 256 bit like impemonk said.

You can probably find a 9800 Pro for under $150 shipped in the FS/FT forum.

6600GT first, then 9800pro 256bits 128mb

Look at these three:

XFX 6600GT AGP

Aopen 6600GT AGP

eVGA 6600GT AGP

The XFX card has dual DVI

But here is a 9800pro w/ 256 bit memory:

Rosewill 9800pro

Stay away from the 9800pro EZ - it has 128 bit memory - sorta like the 9800se but with more pipes.
