Since im turning my AMD Athlon64 3400 into a pci-e cpu i was gonna get SLI and those cards seem interesting to me being im gonna keep it in my room and use it because its the only pci-e card that wont cost me an arm and a leg that has vivo. now do u think it is worth it? i wanna get a fan and heatsink you guys got any suggestions? it has pins for a fan just dont know how many think its two not sure?

Thats the GPU i will be getting when i build my next computer. Best bang for the buck, i think.

video card is okay, but not so sure about mobo. most of the problems during a computer build can be back traced to the mobo, i would suggest getting a more trustable brand of mobo, like asus, abit, and DFi

Be warned the 6600gt is beginning to not be able to run new games. it's unable to run F.E.A.R. without a lag.(At least mine can't)

Ahh, see? Thats where it gets people. ePox isnt a good mobo maker? I think they are pretty damn good. Their S9393 Nforce 4 Ultra mobo was up there with DFI when it comes to overclocking and performance. and ABIT has gone downhill. Stay away from them.

i noticed there is 2 pci-e spots do you plain on useing dule 6600 gt's?

yea im running sli with them and epox is the only company that makes a 754 socket sli mother board. so im kinda stuck i have most of parts just need the graphics cards and stuff. but what pin is other there for a fan thats what i really need to know.

i would also suggest looking at a bfg 6600gt since they are slightly oc'ed, but i think gigbyte is a better companied and its also slighty oc'ed

i would go with bfg but bfg doesnt support vivo
