I'd just go with the basic 9800 Pro 128mb but 256 bit memory, not 128. It's hands down the best bang for the buck.

I would have said the same a few months ago... now the 6600 AGP is on the market i tend to disagree...

If £200 is about your budget then I would look at a plain 6800, bit over budget (around £220) but much better performance than the 9800 and 6600.

www.overclockers.co.uk is an excellent site.

go with that logic and you may as well spend more still and buy a 6800GT! Or better yet an x800xt pe!

if you go for 9800pro dont spend 200£
go for 140£ http://www.microdirect.co.uk/ProductInfo.aspx?ProductID=5824&GroupID=502

and it is 256 bit memory , i have it. great card, and you can go for speed of xt!
(blue logo is 128bit, and green logo is 256bit.)

There won't be a responce to ATI's X850. But look for new Nvidia/ATI cards this spring, so are the rumors.

Not sure what's instore for AGP though. GL
