For that pricerange I'd get this card:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814170057

An 6800GT 256Mb for 274 bucks.

Or:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125186

An X800XL for 254 bucks, cheaper then the 6800GT and outperforms it in more then 1 benchmark, your choice ofcourse.

If you were thinkin about the 6800gs then your outta luck, their only makin 'em in pci express. If you were willing to spend the whole 300 dollars then in my opinion you could: a)get a pretty nice agp ati card or b) for that much money you could almost get a new mobo and a 6800gs as they can be had for about 200 bucks right now. Nvidia has also said in about a month they should be in the sub 190 dollar range as well.

Well, if you got a 6800 GS...a s939 mobo, and a s939 cpu, you could get that all for probably $400...so you could think of doing that instead...
