I have a 2 yr old P4 machine Here are the specs:
Intel 875P based chipset.
MSI Motherboard
1 GB Ram
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 ZS.
MSI Geforce Graphics card 5600 with 256 MB memory. AGP 8x
MSI DVD writer.
MSI CD ROM reader,

I want to play newer games such as Serious Sam 2,NFS:Most Wanted,The Sims 2,Doom 3,Quake 4

etc. and i find the present configuration insufficient despite of overclocking.I would like

to upgrade my graphics card.I have a good modest budget of Rs.5000-7000.I am currently

looking for nvidia 6th grneration series of AGP cards.I currently think 6200 or 6600 would

be good and would fit my budget. I want a GPU that wont soon be outdated. Does geforce 6600

has double the performance of 6200 and is it worth the money? I havent considered ATI.Which

is better . nvidia or ATI? Give me the specs and performance of geforce 6600 and 6200 AGP 8x

based cards.Which company should i consider, MSI or XFX or Gainward. Kindly suggest one that

would fit my budget and give me the graphics i crave.
P.S. I play all games at 1024x768 resolution.
