Which 6600 GT AGP?

I know this has been covered in an Anandtech article and a few threads. But they were all about PCIe cards and the heatsink designs have changed since the article. I don't know which one to buy. I am thinking the MSI one because it has a nice bundle and in the pics on Newegg it has a metal clamp on the back to hold the heatsink on. The Chaintech one is only $199 but I don't hear much about it. People say the Leadtek one is good but it's $218. Is it worth $18 more than the Chaintech? Which should I buy?
 
Leadtek....i just bought one an hour ago, and i have heard it is the best quality, and you want that with a 6600gt...believe me...
its worth it, plus the MSI is known for more problems and the bundle isnt that great...

leadtek all the way
 
Most places I've seen it its been going for 239.00. Stil quite expensive, but then again, SO IS THE CHUCK-E CHEESE LOTTO!

im not sure where it is in the US, but i bought mine in canada for the same prices as the leadtek
 
The AGP version of the BFG 6600GT can be found at Outpost.com or at Chumbo.com. I'm sure there's probably some other places too. I got mine at Chumbo's.

Realize BFG costs more because the card is OVERCLOCKED stock... it is faster then either the Leadtek or MSI cards. Also, BFG carries a LIFETIME gaurantee with the card, and great customer support.

You might want to read this review about the BFG 6600GT cards (both AGP and PCI-E) to get an idea why BFG is so popular.

Yeah, you'll pay a little more, but BFG is worth it.

P.S.
BFG has two AGP versions of the BFG 6600GT OC available... one has the "referance" NVidia cooler and one VGA and one DVI connector, and I believe the newer one has a differant round cooler with dual-DVI connectors. I have the original one, though I have heard of no "real" differances between the cards other then cooler and connector outputs. I'm very happy with mine.

I have the one with Dual DVI and the non-reference card cooler. The cooler on my BFG is the same one as the leadtek 6600GT that everyone seems to rave about, with one difference: it is made of copper! it also sports a blue led fan, which fits nicely with the lighting in my case already.
