Hi all. I have a simple question for you. If the Geforce 6600 and 6600GT both use the NV43 chip, does that mean I can push my clock frequencies to the GT levels without any volt increase or stability issues? Thanks for taking the time to read/answer this question.

Yes and no. You can overclock a 6600 but not as much as a 6600 gt. You can download a regisrty file called "Cool Bits". It puts a overclocking feture into nvidia settings.
Dont overclock too much as i have burned out a 6200 by overclocking too high. I recommend.
Core: 400 Mhz
Memory: 450 MhzIf you have anymore question please email me at gmanych@hotmail.com

Could anyone also tell me why my stock speeds are 300mhz/400mhz, when all the info ive found on the net says it should be 350mhz/400mhz?

ATI & nVidia have what they call "reference specs" but the actual card manufacturer's don't HAVE to follow them. Some clock them higher, some lower.
The reference GPU speed for the 6600 is 300MHz. There is no set standard for the memory

My clock speeds were 300/400
I have now overclocked it to 397/500
using the registry file called coolbits.
I also found that clocking core above 350mhz
does'nt make any diffrence. Its the memory that becomes bottleneck.e-mail raja_nfs@sify.com
