Do you need an AGP card or a PCI-e card? Do you want VIVO?

 

[BigfootsMonk]

PCI-e. What is VIVO

VIVO Video In, Video Out (video cards)

I'd go for this by the way: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127150
Looks a lot quieter than the other one (size of the fan is a lot bigger)

he needs PCIe. i dont think you really need to worry abour VIVO. especially since you dont know what it is. you will need to get the 2nd one if you have a PCIe mobo.

Edit: Ignore this. Sorry.

Yep. If those are the two choices, the second one is what you need.

You want the second since it is PCI Express.

Leadtek is the best quality, go for that.

BFG has the best warranty.

Some of the 6600gt's (if not most) have problems with the heatsink falling off or just sucking. The leadtek is your safest bet.

 

[theMan]

msi cards have really good copper heatsinks.

 

[Promethply]

Yeah, Leadtek makes very good GeForce cards.

 

[BigfootsMonk]

So for a Leadtek 6600GT which one would I get (ignore the first one I want PCI-e)

[OzzieGT]

You want the middle one (PX6600GT TDH). The last one might be a bit faster but otherwise I think it's the same as #2.

 

[BigfootsMonk]

What is the difference between the Leadtek one and the MSI one that makes the Leadtek one better?

 

[OzzieGT]

Probably very little difference. Some say the leadtek might have better build quality...some say the MSI overclocks better...so who knows. I don't think you can go wrong with either.

 

[KoolDrew]

The first one is only 50MHz faster
