Help! XFX 6600 vs BFG 6600GT

[sentrader]

Hello! My first post on Anandtech, thanks for having me!

I am looking for sub-$250 Dual DVI video card. I am mostly a business apps user, play a few games but by no means a gaming enthusiast. I am running 2 Samsung 213T LCD's at 1600x1200x60Hz and am looking for a good card to drive them.

I have narrowed it down to:

XFX GeForce 6600 AGP 256MB
vs.
BFG GeForxe 6600GT OC AGP 128MB

Does anyone have any thoughts on either card? Do I really need the extra 128MB video RAM on the XFX?

Does anyone else have any other card suggestions?

Thank you!!

BFG all the way-

1. OC'd out of the box
2. LIFETIME WARRANTY
3. XFX sux!

BFG! for 4 reasons

1. OC'd out of the box
2. LIFETIME WARRANTY
3. XFX sux!
4. I have one and I like it

BFG. Not only does XFX SUCK!, but you are paying extra for the useless extra 128MB of RAM.

Not so much the brand, bud; you're comparing a 6600 to a 6600gt. The gt blows the 6600 away and the extra 128mb of RAM on it is merely a marketting gimick.
