Out of these 6600GT's:

How come the Gigabyte has 500/1000Mhz speeds yet is cheaper than many of the others? Is that the best deal there?

Thanks in advance.

Gigabyte are slightly cheaper build quality

However almost all 6600GT's are 500 \ 1000 excluding any Nvidia reference model AGP cards (eVGA)

Some companys like gigabyte and BFG pre OC their cards as well.

Well when I look at the others, take the Leadtek, for example:
http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=175048
It shows the speeds as being 500/900Mhz. Is that wrong information then?

Also I'm looking at AGP if that makes a difference.

Thanks.

no that 500/900 is correct info. Generally it's 900 for AGP and 1000 for PCI-E but there's a few AGP that have it at 1000 already as you've noticed

Few? I really think it's most

Maybe as of late, because when I was first going through them because of questions regarding this I saw most as 500/900

So is the Gigabyte a good deal if it's running at higher speeds? Otherwise I'll go for the Leadtek.

if you're not going to overclock it at all, the gigabyte is fine

i have the leadtek; it runs quiet and has a good hsf and imo it's worth the few extra dollars (so is evga)

 

[m3trj]

OK I'll probably just get the Leadtek for its better reputation, 100Mhz can't make that much difference.

I just bought my Gigabye 6600GT not to long ago. It runs awsome for me. imo, i dont think it makes THAT big of a difference in manu. the only concern i have with my card is that it doesnt run as silent as i would like. i think its normal but idunno.
