Hi, i went to buy a new card, and i saw the: BFG version 128 MB Geforce 6600 GT (overclocked) And there was a PNY 256Mb geforce 6600 LE Which one would be better, i asked the man there and he told me that the 6600 LE 256Mb would be better because it was 256MB, but i was wondering what one would be really better the GT or the LE, note that the GT is only 128Mb, but somehow i think i should of got it because it was a GT?, (please note all are agp, i dnt have pci-e) PLease lend me ur advise please i really want to no so that o could exchange today. Thanks cheers, Happy New Year.
I beleive that the 6600 LE 256mb has a slower memroy at DDR where as a GT has a fast memory at GDDR3 and i recon ur better of hjaving faster than more of it.
So what, should i take back my GEforce 6600LE 256Mb, for the overclocked 128MB geforce 6600GT from bfg?, do you think that this is a wise decision?
Ok, but what would you do?, thats what im saying, i want the best card out of these two, if you were in my position just please tell me what you would do?
The 6600GT out preforms the 6600le, yeah it has 128 DDR3 memory opposed to 256mb DDR but it is still the faster card, i would exchange it ... the GT is the top of the line in the 6600 line up
Hmm, im getting scared now?, But are u sure the GT would be better? If its faster does what does that mean?, like it would load whatever faster? or somethink, please note i do not understand anything about cards. please leave ur advise please, and thanks for all the reply's keep em cuming please.

The next question is are you going to use the card for gaming ? if yes the the GT is the best option as the le won't cut it with todays games if no then the le will suffice, it's not that much better than a 6200 .... To understand graphics cards a bit better have a read of this http://www.pcworld.idg.com.au/index.php/id;1854767920;pp;6;taxid;2136212725 hope this helps Happy new year
thanks, but have u put in mind that my ones are AGP, not pci-e, and plus the GT is a 128MB version not 256MB.
Yeah i know you are using AGP the specs are the same , as for the 256mb GT it must have been a typo on the manu site .... when all is said & done the GT is the better card by far, i use one & it really is a excellent card, one more thing to consider the GT requires a power supply of 350w min anything less could cause your system to crash frequently or worse.... best you know all the pitfuls of upgrading
Yeah the GeForce 6600GT is definitely better than the 6600LE. Faster memory means the card will be able to process data faster, resulting in better performance. Also, a 350 Watt power supply is recommended for a minimally loaded system. How many Watts do you have now?
