Just rember that's a 6600, not a GT, and it's AGP.

It's going into a K8NS-Ultra 939 NForce3 board(whenever my RMA'd A64 ever gets to me), and will live in a A7N8X-E for now. This box is used for internet, music and occasionally games. Gigabyte also makes a passive 6600GT. So, 6600GT 128MB or 6600 256MB?
AGP 6600GTs are more expensive than the PCIe versions because of the HSI bridge chip.Originally posted by: ND40oz

Yeah, for a few bucks more, like 7, you should be able to get an AGP 6600GT, won't be fanless, but it will be alot better card for your money.
Noticed your using an nForce3 board, so most likely you need AGP. AGP 6600GTs are actually cheaper then their PCI-E brethren.

I'd go for the passive Gigabyte 6600GT.
Nvidia's PCIe-to-AGP (and vice versa) chip that lets native PCIe GPUs like the 6600GT work in AGP systems, and native AGP GPUs like the 6800GT\Ultra work in PCIe systems.Originally posted by: jfrog

1. What's a HSI bridge chip?
2. I'm considering an ATI as I've never really tried out an ATI before...
