I'd personally go with the eVga, I know that their support is US based and everyone who has an eVga card loves them. MSI cards tend to get mixed reviews.

the msi got tons of good reviews on newegg though..

LeadTek!

go with the Leadtek as my msi just went dead after 5 months. In hindsight I would go with a card with a nice heatsink as the msi one sucked.

MSI.

One of the better HSFs. Best software bundle by lightyears. Chosen the best by a few review sites.

:\ dang i guess there is no clear cut winner!! can someone link me to a few good reviews of the 6600gt pci-e cards?

do any of them come with CS:S??

Anand has a good roundup of 6600GT cards somewhere; the Leadtek takes home the crown.

Go with Leadtek if you can. Leadtek has been highly recommended by Anandtech. The HSF on Leadtek's are pretty good.

I heard the 2 6600gt's dont have much more performance than a 6800Ultra. I could be remembering information though from before SLI optimizations came for games.
