I must recommend the BFG 7800 GSOC videocard. It is an AGP version of a normal 7800, so it is not quite as fast as PCI-e brethren, but it is still a superb step up from my 6600. On average my performance has improved by %75; some applications more than that, which is in line with what I was expecting. Painless install too.

It is about the same price as a PCI-e version, though as it was pertinent to me I did *not* have to change a motherboard, cpu, and case to add it. A nice solution for those of us not yet ready to go into massive debt on essentially a new system. This would be my last AGP upgrade however.

Should be fine for Direct X 9.x Crysis and the like.
