Thats good stuff right there.. 100 bones you can't beat that for a 6600.. I'd pull for a 6800 gt
it's worth the extra money
you get 16 pipelines
and beats both 6600 gt and 6600 by far.. well obviously it's supposed to but the increase is well worth the extra money..

But I must pay $200 more for another 8 piplines

That is a pretty crippled card.

Read some reviews on it.

For just a little more you can get a 6600GT.

Even a 9800Pro beats the 6600 in almost all tests.

It's a pretty good card for the money, though. 9800 pros don't come in PCI-E and are about the same price as this 6600. The 6600s usually overclock very well too.

Until you overclock it. They overclock VERY well since they are essentially underclocked 6600GTs. About the only thing you miss out compared to a GT is the extra memory bandwidth. It's actually a pretty good card for $100, provided you aren't afraid of overclocking. Given the choice, I'd personally take a 6600 over a 9800 Pro. But they aren't all that different when they are both OCed.
