Staples: BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC 128MB AGP $99.97
Found this while searching on their site: http://www.staples.ca/ENG/Catalog/ca...AffixedCode=WW
It is a clearance item so there is probably limited stock (as usual), but here in Montreal it doesn't appear to be OOS yet. I haven't actually tried ordering it, but I can add it to my cart without getting the OOS notice.Last edited by ericlitvak; Jul 7th, 2006 at 09:50 PM.

Hot price for a middle-range GPU. 6 in stock Calgary. Excellent upgrade for those working with on-board video.

Jul 7th, 2006 09:56 PM #6Excellent price, and AGP issue depends on what you're looking for! If you don't have a PCI-E mobo yet, this is a great deal.

I'd rather have gotten the X800XL for $129 instead of this, but decent deal nonetheless.

Glad it is useful to some of you!
RastaMan, you can still get a refurbished X800XL for $139 from ati.com in the clearance section of their online store - it has a one year warranty. It has better 3D performance, but if video/DVD quality is important to you, the 6600 GT is clearly superior. Reply With Quote

Would you please tell me what technique/reason it causes?
