Ahhh I think it could be the 4x agp...I'm not sure the new 6600gt's work with anything but 8x agp because it's agp v3..0...One sec whilst I google..Yep:

AGP 4x - This AGP standard features a parallel 32-bit bus running at 266MHz effectively (66MHz*4 literally) for a maximum data transfer rate of 1GB/second. AGP 4x slots are compatible with 1x, 2x, and 4x graphics cards.

AGP 8x - This AGP standard features a parallel 32-bit bus running at 533MHz effectively (66MHz*8 literally) for a maximum data transfer rate of 2GB/second. This is the last parallel form of AGP, and is compatible with all previous AGP cards.

So I think may have located the problem..

For the short time I had a 6600GT it worked fine for me on AGP 4x and a 250watt PSU
