Um...yeah...I'm pretty sure that the memory is dedicated to the video card with the 6600 and I KNOW the GPU is "dedicated," its not some integrated crap.

btw, link to the THG link?

Well, the BTO page says dedicated, so it's not a combo dedicated and dynamic system memory like TurboCache. Furthermore, as can be seen here on nVIDIA's site, TurboCache is only featured on the 6200. Thus, the 6600 Go TE does have a dedicated 128MB frame buffer.
