And what resolutiom you're running it at? Also, can you show me some pictures?

I'm also thinking about a card but I don't know which one is better...BFG 6600 GT at 128 mb or DiabloTek 9800 XT at 256 mb?

EDIT: By who is your 6600GT made by? (e.g. BFG, XFX, MSI, Asus, etc.)

2furio, get a 6800 (cheaper model you can find, probably 6800LE)

it's about a 20% better than the 6600GT and it costs about the same (at least in my country, nowadays)
The 6600GT was a big deal last summer, but now the 6800 is the best in terms of quality/price 8)

Remember: 6800GT > 6800 > 6800LE

So. You are using a 240 pin DDR2 ram on a slot that only supports 184 pin DDR?

Did you removed 66 pins of your RAM? because that doesn't work m8 :lol:

Sparco... Have you already forgotten? Using big words and fancy names like "Dual-Core" actually make you look cooler online. Get with the game here Sparco.

No, they all exist- Abit AN8 Fata1ty, Athlon 64 4200+ Socket 939, and Supertalent is a ram brand that sells DDR2. He could easily enough have two 6800GTs or 7800GTXs in SLI. Does he have it in the first place? Maybe.

6800 GTX doesn't exist. There is no GTX version in the 6 series.

DDR2 is currently only compatible with Intel.

And 1500 fps with 2x 6800 ''GTX'' is impossible.

Hello NFSUnlimited, we have a new poser.

Oh man, the 6800 series is very expensive here. Tomorrow, I'll give it another shot and try buying the Asus N6600 GT. It's about $250 CDN but I found a place which sells it for $219 CDN. In contrast, the 6800 Ultra is about $550 CDN. And I'm talking about AGP cards because my motherboard is AGP and no way I'm planning to upgrade to PCI-E. So, I think the 6600 GT is the perfect card and it I've heard sites say that they can be overclocked close to the 6800's performance.

Im hoping to get a Radeon X800 GTO2 so i can unlock it to a X850XTPE for a little bit less than what buying a X850XTPE costs! I have $150 and it costs $240 so im close!
