Im planning to get this card, but I was wondering, what real difference does manufacturers make? is XFX a reputable company? from my understanding GT means higher end card, OC being the highest?, 6600 being standard?, and LE being the celeron of video cards?
 
XFX makes good stuff, GT is the highest of the 6600s, OC just means it's overclocked. LE = celeron too =). Hows that for summation?
 
Well, basically they all have to follow a reference from nVidia / ATi and they use their chips, so I don't see why it wouldn't be a good choice? Other than cooling and memory, but I'm pretty sure no one company would sell anything worse than the others for a lot less... ?
 
Oh yeah, is their anything I should be worried about, my psu is a MAX POWER LA 350, I have 512 MB Dual Channelled kingston, i have a AMD 2700 XP with a heat sink, I know it will be a tad bottle necked, my current Video card is an MSI MX4000, which im trading in for 30 bucks, I have 2 case fans, and a heat sink fan on my processor, I think I can get a 60 mm cooling fan for my mobo, their seems to be a heat sink in the center, mobo at 37 degrees cpu at 42, usually when gaming around 50 - 52 on the cpu, is the stock cooling for this card fine? or should I go get one of those Zalman Video card coolers? if so, wanna give me the exact model number i should get? can't buy off new egg, NCIX.com is the best canadian seller I know of, pricematch is a good site too, not all places sell to canada though. heres the link to the card http://www.ncix.com/products/i...ure=XFX%20Technologies
 
I think it is indeed Nick, is their any way to tell after I load in the card and turn on the computer if the drain is too large? oh yeah the price im paying for that card is 280 CAD.
