You'll see some difference, a few frames/second, but nothing massive.

In your position, I would stick with the 9700 Pro until the next round of products / price cuts and then buy something at the 6800GT / X800XL level.

LOTS OF DIFFERENCE
I upgraded from a 5600fx to the 6600gt,

My machine is an AMD 3000+xp
768mb ram
ATA 133 HDD , so lower spec than your machine and now i play HL2 at full settings, and MoH PA at full settings with no frame drop.

It definatley worth it as you will notice the difference.

well some frame drop, but not noticeable.

ArmagoN, he is upgrading from a 9700 Pro, not an FX5600, there's a difference...

I would stick with the 9700 Pro for now, although the 6600GT would increase performance.

As schmunk and Mblaster have already said, a 6600GT wouldn't really be worth purchasing - the increase would be too small for the cost of the 6600GT.

i agree with mike,

not really worth upgrading atm, hold out a bit, and wait for the next step to really gain something, the price paid would not be worth it, to upgrade from the 9700pro
