Thanx for the input... right now was looking for a solid card, not too cheap and def. not too expensive, for my AGP based system to hold me over for a few years til I get a PCI Expressed based system, w/ whatever else new arrives by then.
Til then, hoping my GeForce 6600 will be able to hold me over enough and handle BF2, FEAR, and other highly anticipated titles for a while!
