Whats the price of the zebronics 6600 GT PCI-E card?
Are the pci-e cards cheaper or costlier as compared to AGP cards? Why?

[Ringwraith]

AFAIK zebronics 6600GT sells at 11.5 k
as a rule PCI-E cards are cheaper for nvidia cards coz most 6xxx line cards are natively PCI-E ...to get an AGP version card, nvidia uses something called a HSI pcie to agp converter chip, which adds to the extra cost of the agp version. However prices are more market dependent and the actual prices can be very different!

btw shastri u were abt to buy a card..wat happend..did u buy one?

You are absolutely correct Ringwraith. I almost had bought the graphics card. What happened was that I was suddenly posted to Mangalore. And my dad did not allow me to take the computer to Mangalore as he also uses it. He asked me to buy a new one. So I am now planning to buy a new computer. Thats why I am looking for apci-e card.
Damm it!! It is soo frustrating when you are about to buy a gfx card and suddenly you cant. I was waiting to buy the card since a year and now when I finally had the money this happened. No probs, after couple of months when I will have enough money I will buy a new rig. One thing is sure I will have a computer when Age of Empires III is released. Looking forward to play the game.
