Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB. MUCH faster for about the same cash.

Save a little and buy a GF 6600, or even better a 6600 GT

Here it is way more expensiveand i do not have pci express
i´ll give you the prices:
BigMac Combo (big coke and medium fries): 10 bucks
Radeon 9600 PRO 256MB: 500 bucks
Gef FX 5700 LE 256MB: 500 bucks
GeF 6600 256 MB: 1500 bucks
Clements, on other board the guy told me that bugs and glitches happen more often on ATI cards, is it true?

I personally do not know, but I've heard from others that ATi drivers have improved greatly and work fine. I'm sure most ATI users will back me up there.

Then you're looking at a bad card. There are cheap ones out there, even for agp, although they are cheaper for pci express.

I was at tom´s hardware guide and the GeF 6200 is way slower than the Radeon 9600 pro, i got to take care of a credit card issue but i think it will be the ati.

Just got a PNY Verto GeForce 6600GT (on a temporary basis), and games like Splinter Cell run about 45 to 60 fps at 1600x1200 (it's a freakin' awesome videocard IMO). So a 6600GT is probably your best bet, if you're an nVidia guy that is. I've also heard ATI's cards are getting more and more stable, but I still don't like 'em.
