which should i get?

Neither. Both of those cards are crap. It would be a waste of money to upgrade to either of those. Save up some more and then get something atleast half way decent.

How can you even look at those cards with a straight face? Yes, they do suck.

They're all correct, and those cards will NOT run FEAR for you. I can barely get away with it on my Radeon 8500, so you'd better get something like a 9550 at the least.

Personally I'd stay away from the earlier FX cards, for several reasons (See TES IV Oblivion, pixel shader implementation is lacking on those cards in hardware). And I'd definitely go with an AGP card if you can, not a PCI card.

 

If you're looking for a card around $80, I'd suggest for an ATi card this one or for an NvIdia card this one.

 

Personally I'd go with the ATi card, as from a non-loyalty (I'm very partial to ATi) standpoint, that x1300 is considerably more powerful than the 6600.
