Better than the Inquirer:

It looks like anyone who bought an AGP 6800GT or Ultra hoping to get
hardware acceleration for WMV9 HD movies will be disappointed, but the newer
Geforce 6 family members ought to be OK. (Is WMV9 an MPEG4 variant?) This
includes the NV41 6800 (an AGP card), which is newer silicon than the
original 6800 non-Ultra. The interface seems to have nothing to do with it.
Even the old cards are supposed to accelerate DVD decoding (MPEG2).

Address scrambled. Replace nkbob with bobkn.

The issue does not apply to the 6600GT.
