 | 6600GT is a great card. I would get that and save up for a DX10 card when they come out.

| there isint going to be a dx10. it will be called something different. i dont think i will like dx10, because microsft is trying to kill off opengl by having it emulated in windows vista and limited to version 1.1, severely limiting flexibility and preformance. and if you decide you dont like that and install the latest forceware to override the windows driver, then you cant have the areoglass interface special effects.
