agp? i wouldn't spend more than $150.

eVGA Nvidia GeForce 6600GT 128MB DDR3 AGP 8x

Got it for $165 at TigerDirect near Sherway. Hell Knight on the heatsink, brilliant card, uber powerful, crazy overclocker, great drivers

If you buy an ATi I will kill you.

Circuit City has a rebate thingy for the 7600 GS 256mb AGP. I dont know how much american transfers to canadian dollars (isnt 1 cdn dollar like 1.20 cents Us or something?) Anyways, CC is selling them for about 150 dollars without the included rebate, so it would be subtracted to a total of 90 dollars overall. Dont' worry, they had an agp version there too. If anything, it would be cheaper. This card has passive cooling though. I dont think its possible to OC. I don't even think it could be that good..

I don't know if they have CC at canada, or even if they have the rebate thing going on.

They dont sell anything high proformance though. I had to settle for a normal GF6800 128mb instead of 256mb because the one guy said they never sell those types of hardcore cards (this was when gf6 dominated). I hate their staff too. OMFG CAN I HELP U?! Although they had doom 3 running on a sample computer

Oh by the way, is it even possible to take off the passive cooling and put an active cooler on it? Making it Over clockable. That was the only thing holding me back the last time I went into that store to check it out.

I love EVGA (MY 7800GTX is Evga). But theres no way in HELL id buy that card. Passive cooling = the lose

i'm pretty sure the 7 range only goes up to 7800GS in AGP - and this was only recently released

aye, the best in AGP u can get in a 7800GS which is still very nice

You're right, I completely missed the AGP requirement.
