    Keep the 6600LE, The other card is a GeForce 3 about 3 years old, proabably more! He won't get much for selling it though I'm afraid

    I would keep the Ti just for sentimental value.. Hell, I'm still keeping my dual Voodoo2 12MB SLI.

    Probably its just me and my retro PC electronics..

    Not really a no brainer, depends if he's into retro stuff. If he likes keeping old stuff like ancient motherboards, processors and video card.. The Geforce 3 Ti is definitely a piece of hardware worthy of its name. No one ever came close to the Geforce 3 Ti then, but 6600LE is just a cheapo card with little to prove.

    besides, selling a Geforce3 Ti will only bring little to ur pocket.. at least for now anyways. Maybe they'll be worth more 5 years down the road.

    I was just implying that MAYBE he would want to KEEP both cards.. as he wont be getting much from selling either of them. He can use the 6600LE for games if he wants, but a Geforce3 Ti is just fine for older games IMO.

    TBH, 6600LE dont handle modern games that well anyways.

    I would keep both.. The Geforce 3 TI just looks plain menacing on its own compared to a flimsy 6600LE

    Sure, if I had held onto the gf3 for this long, then I would probably keep it also, I to have a couple of old voodoos lying around, I recently scavanged the black hs that was on it from one of them. But for gaming, without going in search of benchmarks, I am pretty sure the le would win hands down

    Well, fair enough.. I would clean the GF3 TI up and frame it into an inclined glass sampler. Soooo sexehh...

    I'd tell him to sell both and get a 7800GT if he wants to play games.

    Not everyone has 200quid to spend on a video card Storm. Take your worthless comments elsewhere.

    Like said the 6600 is the better car by far, but your really not going to get much out of the sale of a GF3Ti, 15quid tops.

    Geforce 6600LE is a better card than Geforce3 TI of course. There are at least 4 years of gap betweend them. But if I was him, I'd keep both, 6600LE for playin and Geforce 3 for remember good old times

    No need to be your nasty-little-monkey self Smokester.

    FYI: The 6600 is a video card, not a car.
