  If you are a gamer, please dun buy a ATI card.
  
  I have a ATI card which encountered hang with lots of games.
  
  So, stick with Nvidia card.

  a few weeks ago I saw this Nvidia Geforece 6600GT card on a site selling for about 248 canadian dollars, which is about 280+ sing dollars I think, is it worth it? I know geforce 6 series is very powerful. but then its only PCI, the AGP version havent come out. whats the diff if I get a PCI or AGP?

  Just to clarify.
  
  The experience that I have is common to all ATI card's users.
  
  It is not a "individual" experience.
  
  You can check out all the game's forumweb site to find out.
  
  If you dun have ATI card, please dun jump to conclusion.
