that means he is taking 500/- extra from me according to ur prices, but i think a 500/- difference is quite ok in different regions......

and i specifically asked him is it 6600gt and he said yes and it is 256MB....the distributor is Sparkle afaik

from which region have u got these prices from?? im in chandigarh

No way..256mb 6600GT cost more than 8k nd no way to get it at 6k. It might be 6600 256MB its ok for 6k nd might even get it at 5.5k. I recomment go for 7600GS for around 8~9k or a 7600GT for 11~12k.
@ Samrulez
Thnx for the information, but(correct me if Im wrong) it can be seen "Vista ready" only on & series cards..So i guess there might be some sp effect which 6 series nd lower cannot support....

@gary4gar: Thanks.

@thetopcyborg: The main difference between a GT and a non-GT is the core and memory clock speeds which are much lower in the non-GT versions. See this page for comparison of the different geforce 6 models.

Hey you did not tell me your RAM speed. I am assuming it is of 333Mhz, as that is the maximum 845 chipsets supported. You need to add another RAM module of 333Mhz 512MB to make it 1GB. Since you are on a tight budget, I do not think you will have much options with graphics card keeping in mind all the other upgrade components. You can go for the following:

Asus A8N-E~5500
AMD 3000+~5500
512MB DDR 333Mhz (total of 1GB taking into account the other 512MB module)~1900
80GB HDD (Seagate)~2200
Basic mouse and keyboard set from logitech~800
XFX 6600 256MB DDR2~6000

Total around Rs.20700 excluding VAT

Or otherwise you can forget about the RAM and save that money and invest in a 7600GS. You will also be getting a Geforce 7 series card. I think that will be the safer option for at least 1 year. You can add the RAM later after 1-2 months.

Please let us know your final decision.
