I think I've decided on this card as the one I'm getting for Christmas. I really want the AIW features and I think this card is perfect. But how much slower is this than a 6600GT AGP? I know the 9800 pro is kinda starting to get old, but for one thing I can't run 1600x1200 and 1280x1024 without any AA or AF turned on is fine with me. Is it big enough of a difference to just get the 6600GT and like a $30 tv tuner card later? Cause I want this card to last a while, as much as 1 and a half years I think, once I get it that's it for graphics cards until then. And also keep in mind I won't be upgrading the cpu so if it would bottleneck the 6600GT which I doubt it would that's something else to consider. One last question could I put a VGA silencer on this 9800 pro even though it's an AIW and has the TV Tuner on it? Whew, long post.
