Does it have to be brand new?

I've seen a few 6600GT's going on ebay around the £90 mark.

Well if you can get a 6600GT then do it

ill try to get the gt then, most people seem to reccomend it, whats the heat on those things like? cos im planning to OC it as soon as i get it so i need to think about extra cooling, because at the moment the only extra agp cooling ive got is a large exhaust fan

get an ati silencer...i had one for my 9800pro and loved it. but if you get a leadtek 6600gt (cheapest at ebuyer £120) then they come with a pretty good copper heatsink and will do you well

You can OC the bollox off them on the stock heatsink too...but an Arctic Silencer works well too!!

 

[bloodthirst]

yes you can overclock the fuck out of them and there solid as anything

GDDR3 will give you about 6GB/s under the bandwidth of a 6800, coupled with the GPU and it's smaller process size than the larger cards the 6600 and 6600GT run pretty cool for their power
