from personal experience i know that the 9550 radeon works well, i have it on two of my old comps and have had them for a while, had no problems with them and work well.
from the two that you have shown i would go with the one with the higher texel fill rate, along with that it just seems like the better card of the two.

i would go with either the geforce 6200 or the readeon 9550 out of the list, from these i would pick the geforce 6200, but if you are going to use this for silkroad geforce has had its share of conflicts with the game (i dont think its this series of card tho). i myself like i have stated before would pick the 9550 only because i have it on two machines and so forth and is reliable. but it does seem the 6200 is the better card.

If the 6200 is as bad as the 6600, you should be running for the hills before buying it. Have you considered the 1950XT PRO from ATI? It's the fastest AGP card available as far as I know, as long as your motherboard supports AGP 8x.

Will it fit? AGP is AGP, and the only factor is either whether it will fit in your case for some reason or if it's 2x, 4x, or 8x. 8x is backwards compatible and I had a 6600GT AGP 8x in a 4x mobo for 2 years with no problems. Food for thought. http://cgi.ebay.com/BFG-NVIDIA-GeForce- ... dZViewItemhttp://www.digital-daily.com/video/nvid ... index3.htmThe 6600 isn't that far ahead of a 6200, but a 6600GT is. Of course all this is moot if you've already purchased a 6200; it'll work fine for the 4 months you have it. It's up to you.

Nope. i'm not that impatient, i rather wait a little longer to find out fore sure what is the best to get, rather then rush to it and make a wrong choice  So as i mention in the other thread, i'm going with the 6600gt  EDIT: thx again for all the help bro, it was very, VERY appreciated !
