GeForce 6600 vs. GeForce 6600 GT

[Guy Incognito]

Anyone prefer one of these over the other? It's a little confusing, the GT is cheaper, but only has 128MB compared to 256MB for the 6600. The other specs look similar, what am I missing?

The 6600GT is faster. (You can probably get the 6600 with 128 or 256 megs of ram; with the same amount of ram, the 6600 should be less expensive than the 6600GT).

For what it's worth, I recently purchased the 6600GT rather than the 6600. For a few bucks more, the big performance bump in the GT was worth it for me. Check newegg for a buch of different mfgrs of each type of card.

NVIDIA also slashed prices recently due to the 7800. If you really wanted to you could SLI with the cheaper ones and maybe get more bang for you buck (in the long term before having to upgrade/get a new comp again).
