The only good thing about PCI-E is that it enables SLI.But most of us are not rich enough to be able to afford that.
In the meantime,our old but perfectly capable mobos and cpus(2ghz/nf2 and upwards) have to settle with poor video cards coz cards like the 6600 and 6200 are easily available only in PCI-E.INTEL SUCKS.
edit: this thread contains all the ot posts from here

Its unlikely that something will arive in India b4 its listed on their website.
The 6600 non-gts too are yet to arrive.
How much for?
Only leadtek had retail 6200 agps out AFAIK.
saw with ur own eyes,u saw the connector or the box mentioning agp 8x or what?
6200 256mb is the pci-e tc version(most common) and no its not mentioned outright.
Its available everywhere for arnd. 4-4.5k
Though I am myself very keen on a 6200 card-I would stay away from any video card with passive cooling.The 6200 has great overclocking potential and passive cooling would kill all that.
Are u sure its not a 6200 TC?Coz they are the only 6200s(atleast that I’ve seen on the web) with passive cooling.
Will let u guys knw…whn he gets the card on monday…
Those dealers had said its 128-bit nd i dnt think thy wud be selling a Tc card at 6.5??? ..or will thy??
Nyways will let u guys know…
nd its passive cooling for sure…but i dnt think my frnd cares, cuz he had 2 options …as i had posted bfore..
a 5700Le or 6200…
9600pro nd Np werent available, nd he cannot wait…but i think a 6200 wud be better than a 9600np..
Take the dealer’s words with a pinch of salt.
They usually don’t know what they are talking about.
