The 6600pcie is the only nvidia series model thats supported by bf2 I
do not think there is a agp version of the card since pci express is
becoming the next step in high end graphics. The 6800 series cards
came out before the 6600 model and support agp and also have been
upgraded for the pci express. I would suggest getting the 6800 series
such as the 6800 Ultra or the 6800GT model. Both play bf2 very well and
provide a nice visual experience. If your wanting blazing graphics,
then you might invest into a mobo with pcie to take advantage of duel
sli hook up of 2 nvidia cards..
