Why buy a 6600GT when you can get an X800GTO for the same amount, and the X800GTO completely pwnes (for lack of a better word) the 6600GT. You just cant put 6 pixel pipelines to 16 and expect the 6600GT to compair.

In all seriousness dude come back to us when you have $200 to spend. Anything less just wouln't preform to the standird that is modern gameing.

I think the scan website proved my point... no PCIe motherboards there...
