    Video Card Upgrade time nearing...

    I'm looking at upgrading from my ATI 9800 Pro 128mb AGP video card to a new one in the next couple of weeks in anticipation of BF2. I'm leaning towards NVIDIA (Ugh!!) and the 6800GT.

    Are there any particular brand boards you guys that own the 6800 are fond of? I'll most likely buy from newegg.com (as I always do). I'd like to have VIVO, but that seems to be a premium on the boards, so S-Video/Composite out is probably the min on those specs. AGP, not PCI-E.

    ChainTech and PNY have always been good to me.

    I have the BFG overclocked(at the factory), and I have not had a single issue with it.

    I have a Chaintek 256MB 6600 and I've been very happy with it for the first month I've had it.
