Forget any thoughts about buying the XGI V8, in today's graphics card industry there are only two companies you can trust for reliability and performance them being ATi and Nvidia. Though the dealer is ready to sell it to you for only 2.5k, I am sure you won't like the performance, technical support will be very hard to come-by, the card's drivers will be very immature and unreliable, plus since it is second hand you won't get a warranty.

Now coming back to the 6600GT, if you want a AGP solution with VIVO, you can get the Gainward 6600GT - http://www.i-tech.com.au/products/68...8Mb_DDRIII.asp

The MSI GeForce 6600GT AGP also has VIVO support. The model number being NX6600GT-VTD128.

The rates for the 6600GT AGP from XFX have come down btw, the 6600GT AGP now costs about 12.3k, I am unaware as to whether it has VIVO support.
