Looks decent, I have always found ATI (now AMD I guess) and NVIDIA (AKA GeForce) cards to be very nice for the price with good support, but they are not the only ones on the market.
I find NVIDIA is great for games, ok for everything else. ATI is good for everything, slightly better at movie watching or editing, photo editing veiwing, 3D graphics then NVIDIA, but slightly worse at games.
Just my opinion. I hope you enjoy your card = )

seems okay. i'd shop around a bit. like tigerdirect, newegg or even circuit city. if its an agp x8 you can even use the ati x series type of cards. the current xseries (1300+) are made for gaming. if its low price, the x700 works good for older games and is compatible for pretty much all of it, it handles newer games just fine, even handles the army of 2 game just fine and that thing usually uses alot of video lol.

well there are a couple of other smaller things that you should take into consideration.
1. whether or not your power supply has enough power to support it. a 6600 GT needs at least a 350 watt power supply, and the better the card, usually the higher the watts need to be.
Dont worry about it with this card you choose however
2. whether or not your motherboard supports the memory. some motherboards can only accept a certain amount of memory from the video card. this really isnt too big of a problem, but it does affect older boards
Again, dont worry about it
well thats all that i can think of. (i was just merely pointing out some of the stuff, dont want to cuase any confusion) and i would soo agree with trayne to SHOP around.. even if it is store credit.. here is the
exact same card for 7 bucks less.
