Default Staples: BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB AGP $99.97
Found this while searching on their site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...AffixedCode=WW

It is a clearance item so there is probably limited stock (as usual), but here in Montreal it doesn't appear to be OOS yet. I haven't actually tried ordering it, but I can add it to my cart without getting the OOS notice.

Hot price for a middle-range GPU. 6 in stock Calgary. Excellent upgrade for those working with on-board video.

Excellent price, and AGP issue depends on what you're looking for! If you don't have a PCI-E mobo yet, this is a great deal.

I'd rather have gotten the X800XL for $129 instead of this, but decent deal nonetheless.

Glad it is useful to some of you!

RastaMan, you can still get a refurbished X800XL for $139 from ati.com in the clearance section of their online store - it has a one year warranty. It has better 3D performance, but if video/DVD quality is important to you, the 6600 GT is clearly superior.

Good comment, thanks!
I actually have tried the ATI AIW 9800 Pro, the RMVB movies quality of full screen on my 2005fpw is not as good as 6600GT does.
Would you please tell me what technique/reason it causes?

thanks!

Why somebody said that ati is better in video/DVD quality?
