Hi, want to upgrade my graphics card for about $200. I saw a 256mb 9600xt for this price. According to the box the vpu speed is 500mhz and the memore speed is 600mhz. Is this card any good for the money?
So long, and thanks for all the fish!

Thx Bobby, but i want to stay with ATI as Ive heard the Nvidea stuff needs 2 slots and a fancy power supply. I only have 1 slot and don't want to mess with the power supply.

How does the 6600gt compare to the BFG6800 OC card, cause ethey seem to be selling for the same price?

i have only heard about this for the 6800 not 6600 GT. also, they both require the same size psu, minimum of 300w

Bobby,
I have a ATI Radeon 9600 XT graphics card on my other computer and I think it is great!! Alot of people swear by NVidia because they say it is more stable. But I have never had any problems with ATI.

I would recommend getting an nvidia card because they become alot more stable during overclocking. Spend $300 on a 6600GT ... save your money now and save another $100 and get it... you can overclock the 6600gt to the 6800 speeds and blow away any card on the market :)

who said it was $300? that link i sent has it at newegg for $219.
this, http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041119/index.html, compares the 6600GT to some cards.
Using that u can compare where it belongs on this chart http://graphics.tomshardware.com/graphic/20041004/index.html.Email me for info on how to get a free ipod. No BS and totally legit and works!

Thx folks. The 6600gt looks interesting, if i can get away without switching PSU's. It retails at $249 where i am, so maybe worth the extra $50.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
