XFX 6600gt AGP 8X

Mwave has the XFX 6600GT AGP8X for $225. There is a $10 coupon that can be found on chubby currency receptacle. Ground shipping is around $10 for me.

I bought one of these from NewEgg a few weeks ago, and really like this card. Super-fast, and a lot quieter that 6800NU and faster cards.

Ouch, you paid the premium.

Says $225. Still a bit pricey compared to the 6800 IMO.

Yes but these cards have dual dvi and wm-hd hardware decoders.

Hey thanks for deal OP! I was holding back for more than a month, but this price is as good as it's going to get for the next month or so. I knew about mwave's $225 price, but not about the $10 coupon.

cold IMO

I bought the same card a week after it came out for $205 AC at buy.com

Does the decoder work on these? IIRC the 6800 also has one but it doesn't work (or was this fixed??)

At any rate, I think the 6600 GT will be a nice choice when it falls below $200. Otherwise I think the 6800 is a better deal at around $250 if you can spend the extra cash.
