| Apex Tech Fanatic | so it seems i have about $200 to spend, and its time i got a updated video card. currently i am using a ATI 9550 card. it works fine for all the games out there, but wouldnt mind something with a little more horsepower in it. i dont have a SLI board, but here are my specs DFI LP UT 250g AMD 64 2800+ Oced @ 2.5gmhz 1 gig of PC 2700 2x512 running 2.5-3-3-7 1T X connect 500 watt this system is water cooled i plan on water cooling this new video card as well so i have been looking around on ebay and newegg. on ebay i can pickup a 6600gt 256 for roughly $230 would this be a good buy, ot should i look into something else? i dont really care who makes the video card, as long as it runs good and can be OCed if i want/need. so, lets see some opinions please thanks | |

hehe from what i saw they dont accept paypal as payment, and i dont want to use my cc# as then the wfe would find out i was buying more computer stuff.( she absolutely hates computers) so i am trying to buy with just my paypal. ya i have seen quite a few of the 6600GT for about 189 to 220, i havent checked out ebay yet tho, as im sure i could get it a little lower from there. or not.. who knows thanks for the help. maybe i will sweet talk the wife and try to work this is during some pillowtalk to increase my budget and then everythign will be ok! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||

| Apex Tech Fanatic | well i just got my new 6600GT in today. too bad i am at work right now, otherwise i think i would alreayd be gaming or OCing the card. i hope this card turns out to be a great performer. now all i need to do is find a good aftermarket cooling solution, as i dont want to introduce it to my watercooling loop at this time. mainly due to the cost of $125 for the block. anyways thanks again everyone for the advice | |
