One last thing,will the 6600 work with the following games:
Call of Duty:United Offensive
Halo PC
Unreal Tournament 2004
Battlefield 2
Medal of Honor:Pacific Assault
Counter-Strike
MotoGP 3
Halo CE


And hopefully,a 6600 will run H2PC.If not,I should be getting a new PC(I'm on the family PC,my PC is an old 1997 HP with Windows 95),like a Dell XPS 700(those have an intergrated Dual Nvidia Geforce 7900 GT!),and all Dell PC's out will support Vista.And lord knows I will not get a video card seperately.


oh yeah i checked out those new dell pc's that just came out a few days ago, did u see the 20 inch laptop, with a bluetooth wireless, full size, removeable keyboard? its frickin awesome, its liek a mobile desktop!!

and that 700 looks neat too, it has some wierd fanless colling system or some thing that is better or as good as liquid cooling, and wat is that new card that is availible? did u say it was an integrated card?!?!?!? is there such a thing as a decent integrated card?!?!?! wth is happening in the world?!?? today GOOD integrated cards? tomorrow h2pc for xp? omg the sky is falling!!!11 ahhhhhh!!!

but that little xps notebook looks -blam!-, why cant they discontinue that damn thing?


There is no such thing as GOOD intergrated gfx. NONE. Those 7900gt AREN'T INTERGRATED.

Agreed. Integrated cards are just as bad as GeForce4 MX400 cards. For a good quality card, a 6600GT or a 7900GTX is recommended. For a decent card, a GeForce FX5500 is good enough.

Here you will need this to help you get your foot out of the back of your throat, looks llike its in there pretty deep. And what is that on your face? Egg?! *hands Kim a washcloth*

UGH, the fx-5500 is just bad, not decent just BAD. if you're looking for a PCI card, get the 6200 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E1681414305 8

Dude, just because the number 6200 is higher than number 5500, doesn't mean it's nessacerily a better card. I personally think they're both good in each other's weakness's and etc. I mean they both have 128MB memory, and both their memory interfaces are 64-bit. And also, one question, why would you want to get the 6200? If you have the money to get a 6200 rather than a FX5500, then you'd rather be spending the money on a 6600GT right?

Yes, it is a better card, it's from the next series up, 6 opposed to FX. the FX was a terrible series to begin with, why in the world would you reccomend it if something superior was out. not to mention that the 6200 is only 27 dollars, but is not currently in stock ATM.

6200 is in fact garbage. It's comparable to a mid to low end FX5 card.

Just because it's from the next series of cards does not mean it is better. Ex, the 7300GT is slower than the 6800GT - it's more comparable to a midpoint between the 6200 and 6600GT.

If you want a decent card, you'll have to spend some money. A 6600GT is fairly bare-minimum nowadays.

I never said it was good, I said it was better than the fx5500 which is also garbage.

Its only like £37 on Froogle. I use it, and everyone says my graphics card is really good (from screenshots+videos..)

Holy god, halo is a WAR GAME. You do not stare at a soldiers damn crotch. Who are these people??? Anyway, I'm stuck with some integrated intel graphics chip, but am saving for either a geforce or an ATI. Are these graphics cards compatible with my computer, a compaq presario 6000? Hardware's improving rapidly, so should I wait for the next wave of graphics cards, or get a moderately good card to play halo and newer games?
