I am getting a new AGP card for my LAN party system, and I was just wanting an outside opinion on which if these cards to get (preferably someone who has used both radeon x800 series cards and geforce 6 series of cards). I have always been an nvidia guy myself, and I am well aware of the real-world performance of nvidia cards (I run a 7800GTX in my home system), but I have not had a chance to get my hands on any of the new radeon cards.
Anyways, these are the two I am looking at for this system -
MSI 6800 Ultra

that was my first thought, being the nvidia user that I am, but then I stumbled upon this, for a great price -
Radeon X850XT PE -
