In all honesty that isn't worth the upgrade. The 6600GT is fine for now, I would save up more cash and wait get the X1600 or 7800GT. I have the 7800GT, which costed me $340, and I can play GW on any reso maxed out, with 1GB G. Skill and a 4000+

Agreed! If you feel the need to upgrade to a ATI though. The X800XL is far better then the X800XT.

Highly doubtful, nVidia is pushing for more home-users to switch from AGP to PCI-E.

ATI and nVidia both are pushing PCIe. I am unfortunate enough to have to upgrade my motherboard someday as I don't have PCIe.

Get an x800pro VIVO and do the mod to make it an x800xt pe.

You'll get the most bang for your buck that way.

Or if you don't care what you are going to spend, get an x850xt. Its probably the best AGP card you can buy.
