You mean 6600GT.

I see that most people suggest NVidia cards. But for under $150 I hear nothing but good things from 1600XT or 1600pro or an X800 for under 150 with rebate.

Reviews are all great for these cards. I don't have a great knowledge about the subject but all 3 seem to be on par with the 6600. Please let me know if I'm wrong.

Only one of those was under $150...

Though I have to say that the X1600Pro does beat the 6600GT. Thanks for the reminder.

True the 1600xt is a bit more but the x800 is only $154 with the rebate.

X800 series sucked, plain and simple.

Since we're going above the budget; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127200

Destroys all previously posted.
