I have an



AMD XP 2400+

MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

512 DDR 2x256 @ 333

and stuff



Thinking of picking up an XFX 6600 GT AGP. Would it be CPU bottlenecked. Your advise on this.

well.. 6600GT is as good as or a tad better than 9800 Pro.. i have a pretty similar rig, except i can OC my CPU a bit.. and nobody says the CPU is bottle-necked for a 9800 Pro.. hence i wud say ur CPu is not a bottle neck for a 6600GT aswell..
 
2000+ XP is a bottleneck for a 9800 pro...
So maybe this might just fit in... as 6600 GT is around 5- 10% faster then a 9800 pro
 
radeon 9800por vs geforce 6600gt except in some games like doom3

occasionaly one wins over the other
overall:6600gt is a better

but if 2000is bottleneck for radeon 9800pro then even if it is 5-10% faster calculate it
2100-2200 is bottlneck.
also,for such a great card you may plan to upgrade your system later.
 
for games like doom3 6600gt is almost double the speed of 9800pro and even in others games its beats the 9800 pro.

6600gt also has sm3.0 shaders which are a generation ahead than on 9800pro :)

Click to expand...
6600GT will beat 9800 pro in any game unless its limited by either bandwidth or raster ops. The two engines that come straight to mind are UT2k4 & derivatives such as republic commando (extreme amount of textures) and for the second case... splinter cell and its sequels (cos 6600GT can only do 4 raster ops/cycle).
