Well, I just placed an order on Newegg for this card:

http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-122-206&depa=1

It's a 6600GT. I'm hoping it will be as big of an improvement over my FX5200 as everybody seems to say it is. Seems like it's the best bang for my buck anyway. Anybody here have a 6600GT?

 

[D.D.]

i dont. but i can tell u that the 6600gt will completely amaze u. have fun

Going from a 5200 to a 6600GT is going to give you a digital orgasm. :yippee:

 

[hushypushy]

i have a 6800 which is a bit of a step up from the 6600GT, so i guess im qualified to tell you, that card rox

have fun with pete's OGL2 with all teh goodies on (if you're into PSX emulation). thats the main reason i went nvidia instead of Ati.

leadtek keeps up it's tradition of having oversize heatsinks

What's all this talk about Nvidia roxor your boxor. ATI is still the better price/performance ratio champion IMO. If you can I recommend getting an All In Wonder. Once you go All In Wonder you never go back.

You've been living under a rock then. Nvidia's 6600gt is generally regarded as the best price/performance ratio around these days. The card is under $200, but pretty much bests every other video card at the same price point.

i have the eaxact same card and i upgraded from an ATi 9200SE :heh:
you wont regreat buying the 6600gt :thumb:

I personally think the best price/performance ratio is the x800 xl. Performs similar to 6800gt, $270 at newegg.

That's hardly oversized.. :???: If anything it should be a bit bigger.

OOOH! I just bought the AGP 6600GT. IT ROCKS!

 

[Foxfyre]

Well, according to the tracking, it's going to arrive on Thursday, although I'm hoping it might get here on wednesday...I can't wait!!!

 

[cooliscool]

You got it from Newegg right? Expect it tomorrow.

 

[Gamer1]

good decision, the 6600gt is a very decent card.

right now, i'm waiting for a manufacturer to include an arctic cooling or those new fangled zalman vga solutions to their cards, as regular stock cooling sucks, even if you aren't an overclocker.

Is there anywhere else???? I buy all my main computer stuff from newegg.

Yep, Newegg and Fedex are an amazing team.. I always get my hardware at WORST 2 days ahead of schedule.. my mobo/HSF/RAM came overnight. Ordered it on a Wednesday and it was here on Thursday morning. :wub:

where do you guys live?

usually when i order from newegg, it takes 6 days from the day i order it to get to me. and i live in Oregon.

 

[cooliscool]

I live in South Carolina.. and the order that came overnight was from NJ (as it usually is, although some stuff comes from CA).. odd it would take 6 days..

Oregon? I always thought you lived in Malaysia or something.

 

[Gamer1]

Malaysia? lol

I was born in the philippines.... and maybe that where you got that idea...
