    based on the 5 choice's you have there i would go for the 6600 as it has 8 pixel pipes (double what the others have) giving better overall performance , just out of interest do those price's inc vat ? if not you really are better off going for the 6600GT as it has DDR3 memory as opposed to DDR1, faster core & memory speed and will out perform the 6600 and the others in the list, the earlier link i posted for novatech is where i got mine for £122.19 all in, just my opinion as i went through all this the other week trying to choose a mid range/price graphics card, anyway good luck with your choice and let us know how you get on ;)

    6600. That's an excellent price for a brilliant card.

    Sorry mate!! I am very pleased with the card. I prefer Nvidia chipset cards, because in my experience they make better drivers.

    My 28" Panasonic TV is very competent at showing detail. It has its' limitations. I was pleasantly surprised at the results. It tends to fall away at the edges. When I have my flight sim on, I can read all the gauges in the cockpit.
