you can't use PCIe unless you have a motherboard that supports it.

There is no advantage in going with PCIe at the moment. However, SLI is only on PCIe.

ATI is making both AGP and PCIe cards.

The 6600GT is better than a 9800Pro.

If you like nvidia, you can go for a 6600GT or 6800 non ultra.

so is the 6800 is better than the 6600gt right?

yep. a 6800 non ultra will outperform a 6600GT. the prices are pretty close, so it's worth it to find a 6800NU.
