New WoW Machine

[Drasca]

For a minor item like that, I'll just hold off and if I need it I'll hit my local CompUSA.

Same brand, similar card, different manufacturer. I bought a LeadTek Winfast 6600GT AGP. Came with the DVI converter in spite of having a VGA available. Your XFX is a competent brand, I wouldn't be surprised if yours came with.

Unfortunately, my own card has some kinks when playing older Directx 8 games. Plays WoW great, but using the OpenGL rather than directx options (of course I swap out between this and my Geforce 4600 with no troubles since its all Nvidia drivers). Can turn up all the settings and still get decent frame rate. 12-25 fps at highest settings and local area load. Regularly gets 40-60 fps over the infamous 'wyvern/gryphon' rides too.

So end result: WoW plays great, but my leadtek 6600GT AGP doesn't work for all 3D games. YMMV. 6600GT is certainly a powerful card though. When I need directx 8 games, I shutdown, switch cards, and it auto-detects and uses the same installed nvidia driver software package for 4600 and 6600.
