And, yea 6600gt cards are all the rave these days. Go for the BIG 6600 gt card or the winfast 6600gt tdh EXTREME card (factory overclocked, but 2K costlier).

By default the ATI graphics chip runs @ 200MHZ. There is no heating problem here. But if you set it for 300MHZ you need a fan. I dont even have a case fan, I just used a very small fan on the heatsink. The entire system runs cool anyway. 40 inside the case and 50 for the CPU. And the entire thing works with a 250W PSU.

You need better cooling if you over clock anyway. Or at least a case fan to keep the insides cool.

My RS480 is running really cool without additional cooling. Mini ATX just means it has 3 PCI slots instead of the usual 5. You don't miss out on any other feature.

OK, point noted.
Can anyone of u post a review of this mobo. I mean a proper review like the they have at techtree. That will certainly help a lot of ppl.

It will be very useful since the reviews at these sites have a high end system which give high scores but normal ppl like us go for a budget soln fo eg AMD 3200 instead of FX-55, so the benchies in these configs wud be more realistic for most of us.
