Made a mistake when I built my system and bought a cheapo graphics card
(GeForce4 MX4000). With BF2 out, I need to upgrade but I'm confused by
the myriad choices. The system specs are:

P4-3Gig
Asus P4S800 with AGP slot
1 Gig DDR RAM

Cost is an issue. I'd like to keep it in the $200 range. Any
recommendations?

Geforce 6800 (although the 256 meg ver is getting a bit from your
range).

GForce 6600GT w. 256 Mb, or perhaps a GForce 6800 w. 128 mb.

Found a couple of used boards a bit over my price range but do-able.

X800Pro or BFG 6800GT OC

Which is better? Are they overkill for a P4 3.0Ghz system - ie. is my
processor a bottleneck?
