I would say the xfx is your best bet, great bundle and is cloked higher than the original specs. What is the
Cheiftech Matrix/xp 2600@ 2.3ghz/ Abit NF7 v2/1gb GEIL value dual channel pc3200@ 2.5-3-3-6/XFX 6600gt/80gb Western Digital boot disk/80gb maxtor for storage and games/LG cdrw/Nec 3500A
because i like it!
the gainward golden sample GLH is supposed to be the best in terms of performance:

but it is a little more expensive
did you want agp or pci-e?
Personally, I don't think Gainwards are worth the extra money for relatively little performance. Best bet is to go for one with 1000mhz memory, rather than 900mhz memory - cheapest I could find was: http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=174171

I was going for a 6600gt until the x800 xl came along. I found that the MSI was best, it had a non-standard cooler and a great bundle. I also found that the XFX was not best, its like the asus sli of sli mobos, it was russhed out, its a good card but there are better.

the leadteks are the quietest!

they've modified the xfx fan so its better than the original 6600gt they released. the newer silver fan version i believe works much better.

ive got a leadtek
this thing makes my ears bleed
other than the noise im more than happy with the performance of it
My mate has just bought an AGP XFX 6600GT as a stop gap, and is more than happy with it.
Or for a tenner more:
XFX GEFORCE 6600GT PCI-E 128MB DDR3 TV+DUAL DVI * SLI Ready
Of course it depends if mobo needs AGP or PCI-E!
I just ordered 2 of those XFXs as a stopgap until I get a 6800Ultra (or 2!) I couldn't find a SLI-able 6800Ultra in stock at the right price anywhere.I gave up in frustration and figured it'd be fun to play with SLI and sell the cards after a few weeks.
thought this seemed a good buy,no?
BFG 6600GT OC.....£156.37
OC'd out the box and guarateed for life...they never quibble so long as its a gen fault and send one next day.As for noise...who gives a damn when your shooting for your life in Doom3 at full volume.
i'm still hoping they bring out that arctic cooler for the AGP version...

The so called OC from BFG doesn't offer much performance advantage, due to the OC is too little, I've seen OC for 10MHz and then they call it OC. Of course they are not wrong, even OC for 1MHz it is still OC, but look carefully before you buy.
I find the XFX to be more for games like us, like the 6600GT AGP they clock at 1GHz while NVIDIA default is 900MHz, that's what I call OC, but they didn't even call it any special names, it's so natural. I noticed them long ago and I do like their slogan (I've seen only once though) For Gamer By Gamer.
I can vouch for the amended fan design as it's on mineIs very quite and temp is below 45C idle, also OC is good, it runs at 550/560 easily via Riva Tuner, would think would go somwhat higher but haven't got around to it as yet, although from what i've read 580-90/600 seem to be possible
Search this forum section [HEXUS.tech-news] for 6600GT - plenty of review links in there.
