Alright, I've pretty much narrowed down my choices between this: 6600GT

and this: 6800
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814122207
Now, I was looking at the specs and it seems what makes the second one cost more is the 256 memory instead of the 128. The memory clock speed varies from 600 MHz to 1120 MHz, and the core clock varies from 325 to 550 with the 6600GT being faster in both areas. Whats' up with that ? I thought the higher the better? And whats' with the Minimum 350w system power supply on the 6800? I don't know much about my comp other than this:

I'm not sure which one to get. I'd like the one I choose to be able to play Doom 3 well, Quake 4,HL2, and maybe FEAR, but it seems that FEAR really bogs down even the best graphics card.
Thanks for any help
