Nah. You should be looking at this one instead. It's cheaper and faster than the card you linked to.
8 pipelines is the mainstream right now. This is a single slot card so your chipset cooler can stay.

Yup. Everyone above is right the best pci-e card for under $200 is the 6600gt.

Keys is right- 6600GT is on par with the X700 at all games, stomps it flat at Doom3.

which X700 ? pro ? No you are WRONG, 6600GT is faster then X700Pro in almost all games by significant margin. It is not on par. Except maybe with the X700XT.
But for a little more, $250-$275 you can get the X800XL which owns them, and is in fact ON PAR with the 6800GT. It's defentely gonna be worth the extra $70

the 6800 gt still spanks the x800xl in doom3. its faster in WoW also.
in warcraft 3 anyway and doom3 a 6600gt is nearly as fast as an x800xl

true, 6800GT has advantage in OpneGL games, primarily Doom 3, but X800XL has advantage in pixel shader based games (although smaller advantage) like HL2. They're about even in Far Cry. Overall, there really is very little difference with each card having advantages in different games. So in fact, with the exception of Doom 3, the X800XL is ON PAR with 6800GT - it's not inferior at all.

wow you're so confused.......
All 6600GT cards, including PNY, EVGa and everyone else is 128bit/8 pipes. It's clearly shown on newegg site, as well as the PNY site. Your second link showing a 256bit card is for a 6800GT (repeat 6800GT - notice how it's a different number than 6600GT) which indeed has 16 pipes/256bit memory interface (but also costs twice as much), so maybe you got confused a little with the numbers. Just remember all 6600GT cards have 128bit memory interface cause that's what 6600GT GPU has. The only differences between these cards is if they have HDTV support (component out), dual DVI, and how much they overclock (but even that is usually similar - most can do at least 10% overclock, but almost never reach 20%). Also they differ in their packaging what extra software and accossories you get with the card, and the length of the warranty. Also some have more elaborate coolers but most use a similar layout to nvidia's reference design. This PNY 6600GT has dual DVI which is a plus, but nothing else about it is special, so it's still a little expensive as you can find other 6600GT's for $170 (evga and XFX are both nice brands and usually among the cheapest, asus and MSI are usually the most expensive but often have unique extras).
I suggest you read this anandtech article comparing different 6600GT instead of developing your own wild theories.....and confusing other people.
