Hi among the two - Geforce 6600 256 MB or 6600GT 128 MB, which one is bound to last longer...i.e, like allow me to play newer games longer...?which is more important - clock speed or video memory?


also how much is a leadtek 6600GT 256 MB cost? its probably over my budget, but still, how much does it cost?i'm talking abt AGP, mind...


thnx

I've Seen many reviews of XFX 6600 256 DDR2 and i was really impressed if u overclock it, it will run as good as a 6600GT ,,, so i feel going in for a 6600 is better than 6600GT as 6600 is almost 3-4K cheaper than 6600GT(this is the PCI-e Card rates i have no idea bout howmuch AGP cards will cost),,,
and i think CLock speed is more important than Video memory(correct me if i am wrong)

yup clock speed is more important than Memory. A lot of games out there do not even use the available 256 megs of memory save a few of the high end games.

Altho cryptid's suggestions are valid, I would still reccomend the 6600GT simply because it OC's even better. It comes in close to performance to the 6800 series if OCed and its very stable. I would reccomend the 6600GT neday.
