I'm looking at the black friday adds and I see a 6200 and a X700 AGP on sale for $100. I was wondering which one is a better replacement for my 9550?

X700 would be better for just over 100 bucks, but you can throw in a little extra and get X700 Pro or 6600GT instead for ~120-140.

I would not get the 6200, its a good card but not for 100. I bought mine for 59.00 at Frys.

the x700 is a much better card if they are the same price, if you can find a 6200 for $50 id take a look at that, or if you are willing to spend more money get a 6600 gt for like 130.

Well I've been looking at the egg and it sees that I can get a 6600 that is better than the X700 for just a little over $100 with no rebates. So I think I'll wait.

I would get a 6600gt agp used for $100-$120ish. That's how much they've been selling for in classifieds and other forums.

What when did we go to 3D gaming? I thought 2D was still the new thing.

And a processor on the card? Since when? Maybe this new 3D thing need this added Processor

When I read the original post I was under the impression that you said 6200 non GT.

For 100 bucks that is a good deal for a 6200gt, I would prefer it over the x700

6200gt does not exist...unless some company put gddr3 on a 6200, which seems just....stupid. my vote goes for the x700, as then its not a dice game as to whether it unlocks or not.

A 6600 Gt from what I have seen out performs the X700Pro slightly The decision would be in between the 6600GT and the X700Pro the 6200 does not compete with the X700 or the 6600GT.
