The popular ones(ie the Leadtek one) claims to work only with DFI and is incompatible with ASUS.

Here u go, see this http://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1636&s=2 Also I don't think any nvidia card, of any brand, is manufactured here, all of them are imported.

It is semi SLI mod which i believe MSI was the first one to find out and display. It has about the 90% performance of true SLI, but AFAIK this mod is disabled in new nvidia drivers.Another prob with this MOD is, it is difficult to procure the SLI bridge for ASUS motherboard.

Gainward on the 6600gt has heat sink which is flimsily mounted, resulting in about 5 degrees increase, better go with leadtek or gigabyte

The point is you can always make u'r passive cooler active, if u aren't satisfied with u'r passive cooler :) It'll be even easier for you, with Sunny around ;)

THG's shootout of 6600's gave the Gigabyte passively cooled card as the best among all others(leadtek, gainward,MSI,etc), so it wouldn't be baaad....that's for sure. Also i was reading an artilcle on thermaltake passive x800xl cooler(maybe it was Xbitlabs or Anadtech, don't remember).While they...

Well the best 6600gt IMO, is gigabyte's passively cooled one.Man, its got a really good cooling system as good as active ones, box OCed, and modders can put a fan on the hsf (or maybe 2 :D )and then its gonna OC like Hell :ohyeah:

Hahahaha :lol: But come to think of it, IMO Hell should be Endothermic, 'cause hell is asked as whole system, weather its Endothermic or Exothermic. Now we all know, hell is very hot internally, so if all, so might be its gettin its energy to keep it warm from outside i.e. its absorbing energy...

My XFX 6600gt AGP had also died, within 2 months of purchase, but the fault here was kinda mine, 'cause the power cable of the card had loosened during one the RAM replacement. As i ran my card on loose power cable, there were symptoms like the system crashing after 4-5 mins. whenever i played...

I've already have tried 12345 and 00000, they don't work. How can that be done ? Again, how do i do it, there's no option as such, visible now, to do that

Here's an interesting Article on AMD's new Turion64 proccessor http://www.gamepc.com/labs/print_content.asp?id=turion64 The new AMD procc. is clearly beaten everywhere(except the synthetic sandra) quite comprehensively by Pentium M, weather it be power consumption, Gaming Performance or...

Just 4 cores ? Intel's already promised a 16 core processor by 2007 which would be known as Tanglewood.

I've already have admitted that AMD is better in single core, but still if you compare the FPS difference b/w the 2 similar procc., it'll be hardly ten. We can put it this way, get AMD dual core for $520 and run u'r games on integrated graphics or get intel dual core+x800xl for $515 :P As far...

How do you know the performance loss in the games would unacceptable, 'cause there are no *new* games optimized for Dual core available yet. You can get corsair xms2 ddr2 800 (5-5-5-12) for around $250 and if i'm not mistaken you can run these Rams at lower latencies if u underclock them.So for...

If you Quantify "far better" in terms of FPS, its hardly 10 in current single core scenario. So i don't think spendin 250 bux more on gettin an AMD dual core, instead of Intel is worth it, you can get an excellent gfx for the cost which will nullify, the procc advantage :ohyeah:

If u'r not buying 6600gt, you should get msi rs480m2 instead of k8n, 'cause its got excellent integrated video as good as geforce 6200 and much better then u'r current fx5200 and also got pci-e, and socket 939, so upgrading would be easy in future. The complete rig then with above spec(minus the...

^^That's a temporary scenario, 'cause current games are not meant for dual cores.Games to come will start taking the benifit of Dual cores, and you'll see visible results. That's bcoz, u'r tryin to sell a kinda current chip at a forum, where members are very knowledgeable, which know AMD's...

yeah u can get an intel dual core+high quality ddr2 for price for AMD dual core alone

Cost per unit, maybe okay, but u gotta admit, new tech is new, aren't you just as anxious to get hands on a dual core, besides there are other reasons too, i think that will make Intel rule in dual core: -Cost advantage ofcourse, you will get intel chip for $240 while for AMD gives it own...

On Topic: These pricing may look impressive now, but i'm goin the Intel way, when dual cores hit the market, 'cuase Intel's dual core chip is expected to cost half as much compared to AMD.
