I think I'll just get a 6800 AGP as a filler untill the next wave a DRM is unleashed.

Just sayin, if you want a card to run 1080p gaming, 6800 agp isnt fast enough for high detail. You'd be better off running at 720p high detail than 1080p low detail.
I still think you should get a 6600GT AGP since you could really benefit from the WMV acceleration, even though the 6800 AGP has about 6gbps more memory bandwidth. Then again, if you are very intent on 1080p gaming, you'd definitely fare better with the 6800.
