It will have difficulty with more graphically advanced games such as Oblivion and CoD2. But remember, you only have an Athlon XP 1700 anyway, so those games weren't gonna run well on your machine no matter what video card you have.

Half Life 2 should run at medium settings. HL2's engine runs surprisingly well on older machines.

if it's a 6600GT it'll be ok for a little while but not long. Obliviion alreay brings it down to its knees. If it's vanilla 6600 you unfortunately wasted your money. A Radeon 9600 XT has been known to get better frame per second performance in many apps than a standard 6600.

Sorry, a plain 6600 beats the 9600XT in most games, and often substantially.

no man, a plain 60$ Geforce 6600 just won't cut the butter on new games. Well,,,,,,,maybe at low settings.
