Diablotek Nvidia Geforce 6600 Review

There are plenty of video or graphics card installation and help articles on this site so I will not bore you with another one about how to remove the old drivers, pop open the cover and properly seat your shiny new video card. Opps, that's about all there is to installing this one.

I bought the Diablotek Nvidia 6600 AGP 8X 256 MB card in great part to the web site you are viewing this article on. They had a little promotion and the content producers like myself that wrote a certain number of articles in a certain time period received gift certificates redeemable at a web site, guess what it's called. GiftCertificates.com. We received an amount commensurate with your articles hits and the numbers of articles you have. Or what they call your Clout Index. The more good articles people read the more money you got in the form of gift certificates, so here's some of what I spent mine on, for the rest watch for future articles about the products I bought.

So for a decent video or graphics card that costs about a hundred dollars you can expect the Nvidia 6600 is about the best you can get. I bought mine through Tiger Direct and I think it is a pretty good deal. If I was spending my own money I could have saved a few dollars and gotten about the same one at another place called Newegg but this card is about the best you can get for $100 at this time. I chose an NVidia card over my previous ATI card due in large part to the better drivers and ease of use. I had purchased an ATI card in the past to get the video hookups to be able to connect my VCR to my computer and record old VHS tapes into digital format but when I did they were really poor quality so that is a project that was scraped. Now I want power to play games, at least as much as $100 can buy me. Maybe in the future I will be able to get better but for now I am on a budget like so many others out there. So here's what this card will do and just how good it is.
