Given your specs and desires, I'd pick between the 6600 and 6600GT. The price difference is $50 and both should be good enough. There are motherboards out that support both PCI-E and AGP for the time when you upgrade.

I have a 6800GT, this is my bias. It is $300 now and in relation to what the games demand, is a top-notch card. With this card, the choke point is your cpu, not the gpu. Good luck and let us know how it goes.

I have the same card with 1024 ram.
turns into a slide show in harbors or storms,
I have to limit my mods hope the sound fix helps I am running my card at performance no aa.
If I only use uzo and f3 it aint as bad

Hmmm the motherboard that supports both would have been nice to know a few months ago when I built this sucker

At this point though, I'm stuck at deciding whether to buy a good AGP card or just buy a PCI Express card and a PCI Express capable motherboard. I have the money, I'm just a tightwad (i.e. student) and I have qualms about spending that amount of money without a lot of forethought. For now, though, the Anti Aliasing suggestions may temporarily solve my problem. How do I change them or see what they are? Is it on my vid card software, or within the game?
