Hey, I found this GeForce 6600 256MB card that's pretty sweet for something like $130. I was wondering if I'd be getting a good deal and, if not, which card should I choose. I found it at www.pricewatch.com
Just click on video cards and the GeForce 6600 should be on the far right of the page. Whaddaya think?

its not a bad deal, depending on th slot of the card. the geforce 6600 is very mean card, and packs a punch, however be sure to know the slot type. now this is something stupid but wheaties is the breakfest for losers

Besides, it's a tribute to the late Wesley Willis, a musician from Chicago.

do u have a pci express motherboard? it was just released a few years ago. many people don't have it yet. if ur motherboards pci slots are huge then ur fine, go get that 6600 pci ex. if u have agp ,go on zipzoomfly, and find something there.

as of this very moment, I have AGP4x, but once I buy the computer in my signature, I'll have PCIe

Dude, ditch the intel LGA775, yo. You can get an AMD for $400 or so cheaper that will run both faster and will be much more overclockable. Don't be shy about AMD, they are really the gamer's processor.

How come they have lower Ghz? Like the AMD 3200 is only like 2.something Ghz but it's supposed to run as fast a 3.2 Ghz P4? and what about Intel's Hyper Threading thing? Is my processor better than an AMD 64 3200+? Cuz mine has more Ghz and it's HT. Does AMD have any form of Hyper Threading or whatever, if they do I imagine they would call it something else.

AMD is cheaper? I found a motherboard-processor combo with a 3 GHz LGA processor for only $258. The processor itself is only like $180 and the board is around $90. Is AMD cheaper than that?
