Buy a mid-range card now or wait?

[Key-Bored]

I've been looking at some 9600XT's, but I keep hearing things about the 6600
and the X700. Would it be worth waiting for AGP versions of these cards?
(Both for their quality or a drop in price on other cards).

wait for the 6600gt will smack that 9600xt upside the ass and will perform
2 or 3 times faster I wont be pricey it will be considered the new
midrange cards. If you up grade now your card wont last you much long in
graphic intensive gaming.

Gotcha.

... will smack that 9600xt upside the ass ....

Not a bad slogan for it, unless they go with: "Says to the 9600XT: 'Bitch,
make me a sandwich' "

9700 pro is the best bang for the buck and already smacks the 9600XT.

And just where do you find one of these ho's...

I think that 9700pro preamble has been floating around in cyberspace for a
year and a half, finally found a post it could bind itself to.

I remember reading in the post about X700 awhile ago. I think X700 is PCI-E only.
