    the card is a normal 6600 not a GT and i have heard that with this card the 256mb version is not woth the money over the 128mb version as the chip isnt fast enough to use the extra memory so its a bit of a waste of money, but i may be wrong so look for some comparative benchmarks, i could not find anymyself. But either way it should give you playable frame rates on most new games

    6600 for gaming?! hah!.... ehehe.. tbh, any game today will eat that 6600 for breakfast.. that extra 128MB would just serve as extra maple syrup on that juicy 6600 pancake..

    get a 6600GT.. or X800GTO to be safe-ish..
    Me want Ultrabook

    looking at benchmarks things will run, with low detail and everything else off, but you can play it
