Help in deciding which Video Card to buy

Hi!

I have a buyer for my old ATI Radeon 9600Pro Card.

I have the option to buy a used 6600GT Card. I can add a few dollars and buy a 6800NU.

My questions:

1) Does the 6800NU worth the extra bucks?
2) Currently i have a mobo that supports AGP only (not SLI), so what would be the best investment for such a board. (Its an Epox 8rda3+ with Barton 2500 and 512MB of Ram)
3) As i have good experience with ATI so far, can you recommend me a good ATI card at the same level of the 6600GT/6800NU. I'm a gamer.

10x,
zachig

I have no experience with ATI so I'll let others answer that.

When it comes to the 6600GT vs 6800NU my answer is yes, the 6800NU is worth the extra bucks. However, the 6600GT can overclock and get some extra speed from that, but generally, the 6800 chip is better than the 6600 imo. Just make sure you don't get the vanilla 6800.
