IMO a 6800 is the better deal in that price range.

Newegg was limited on AGP versions so look elsewhere to compare. You don't need a 512 Mb card but with the price being about the same I'd spend the couple extra dollars

. 256Mb is good enough but don't get a 128 Mb version when you look around.

WWW.ZIPZOOMFLY.COM is a good place too.

Edit: just saw that card is only 128 bit memory interface. you can get one that has 256MB & 256bit interface for about $200.
