Looking for a second hand card for my PC so that my son has more choice of games. Budgets quite tight and I see 9800 PRO's go for less than £50 with 6800GT's going for about £80. I'm looking for AGP so really wondered what the main differences are between 9800PRO, 6600GT and 68ooGT??

Would like a card that is not prone to breakdowns!!
 
The 9800 Pro and 6600GT are very similar in terms of performance, but the 6600GT and 6800GT support Shader Model 3.0, so I would get one of those two if the price is right.

It shoudl be noted though that the 6600GT can really struggle in current games, as it's a bit past its time now. You should definitely aim for the 6800GT if you can stretch your budget that far.
