the reason i suggested the MSI is because allot of cds and other stuff comes with the 6600gt card. I will have to have the PCI card right to i can hook it up to my monitor. And why is BFG ir XFX better?

some people say the bfg and the xfx are better overclockers...considering ive never had a 6600gt i can't say from experience. the card would go into a AGP slot which ur mobo only has one of and its brown and the card will only fit into that. On the back of the card will be the place u plug in ur monitor.

WOW wate the AGP slot isn't on the out side of the case it is on the inside so hwo can i get my VGA cable in there? This is why i need to get a PCI card so the VGA hook up will be on the out side of the case right?

in the back of ur case is where the edge of the AGP card sticks out just like PCI cards just a different slot its right above the PCI slots (the white ones) the agp slot(gray/brown one) works in a similar way the one side of the card sticks out a little and u plug into it.

EDIT: give me a few and let me try and find a pic as i dont have a digi camera to take a pic of mine

ok i went and looked at mine the reason i thought is was inside was because it was further forward than the pci's but i guess the agp cards are just longer and stick out of the case the like pci's do right?

yes considerably better. PCI cards aren't very good for games. AGP is Advanced Graphics Protocol 8x PCI is much slower.
