6200 Vs 6600

[Bateluer]

112 USD Albatron 6600

104 USD Apollo 6200

Incidentally, FX5200s are around 50 USD.

What's the problem? Besides the Apollo box advertising PCI-X, I mean.

That 6600 only has 64-bit memory. The 6200 would probably toast it.

Notice that card is the _ONLY_ 64-bit 6600 on Newegg, and is also the only OEM version. All others are Retail versions.

The moral is simply don't buy OEM nVidia cards.

Sorry, my mistake.

120 USD 128bit 6600

6200 still looks like a total waste of money . . .

Yep.

I thought you were comparing the 8-pipe, 64-bit 6600 with the 4-pipe, 128-bit 6200. Neither one makes for a very appealing compromise. I guess a $120 6600 is pretty decent, tho--should give a 9700P a run for its money in newer games.

The 6600 will pwn the 6200, and considering the prices of the two, its a no brainer decision.
