If you willing to spend the full $200 then the geforce 6600GT is the best you can get.

you can easily get a 6600GT for that budget. AGP 6600GT start at $180 i think. PCI-E (if you can run it) are a bit more.

Acturally the PCI-E geforce 6600GT are cheaper then the agp geforce 6600GT. The agp geforce 6600GT cost closer to $195.

Then you can get a PCI-E geforce 6600GT for about $185.

Common problem? Care to be a bit more specifik?

6600GT is a great card.

That is not a card any one of us recommended. I am pretty sure the card you have listed above is a none gt. The 6600GT would perform much better then that card. If that all you can afford that fine but for gamming the 6600GT would do alot better.
