New graphics card

I just upgraded to 64Bit myself so I will be putting my just bought ATI X800SE 256MB AGP card on eBay.
I can say when I put it in for my 9800 it was much smoother (AMD2700) and vastly superior. It ran all the games better but no 32bit is going to compete with 64bit and a equivalent PCIE VC
I hate to sell a like new card for a loss particularly when it works so well but the 9800 is already over kill for my email PC and the X800 would be a waste like giving grandma a 911 to do 30MPH in for church.
The 6600 actually works better than the 6800 for SH3. As the VC war continues both makers have differences that games must now choose from mediocre on both or better on one or the other, unfortunately.
Ironically the Nvidea is what SH3 touts on the cover but ATI works better. Not the same case for other games though where Nvidea is superior, or so I am told.
Benz or Bimmer, Ford or Chevy, AMD or Intel, same ole, same ole. My dogs bigger than your dog!
