6600 Gt

[satan]

What's the difference between all the different 6600GTs? I thought there was just one card called a 6600GT until I had a look around, now I'm befuddled. What do all the different types mean? Are there performance differences between them all? I had a look here:

Are they all as good as each other?

Thanks in advance.

most are the same as they are based on nvidia's reference design, some use slightly faster memory but i can remember which one (but you pay a premium and its only really usefull for overclocking).

the most important thing in my mind the the noise of the cooler and the bundle each card comes with, some come with heaps of games

edit: sorry by 'faster' i mean lower latency

The reference PCI-Express design has 1ghz memory, while the AGP reference design has 900mhz memory. However, some cards come with faster memory. I believe the XFX AGP 6600GT comes with 1000mhz memory, while the PCI-Express version comes with 1200mhz memory.
