Yup that one rocks. I got a Leadtek (good brand, good heatsink) nVidia GeForce 6800 AGP (non-Ultra, sometimes called NU) with 128 MB VRAM a couple of years ago, when it was the fucking bomb. (Now it's still the fucking bomb except for VRAM for a few select games (Oblivion) for which I made a patch to play with nearly-high textures anyways, lurk around its boards.) What's great is you can very easily unlock its pipelines and overclock it to get a 6800 GT (faster core than the GT, slower memory, similar performance) for the price of a 6800 standard. Easy as fuck to do with RivaTuner, little to no risk involved, Leadtek's good fan and heatsink help a lot, the fan is still running at 40% of its maximum speed and it keeps it cool (by default, it's set to 25%).
