Video Card Review: Geforce 6600 More Bang for less buck!
 

As mentioned by me many times the new GeForce 6600 is Nvidia's new "working class" line of video Cards, it has the features of the 6800 but with a more economical price tag (high-end will only be around $230.00. Low end could be as low as 99$)

But for those who want to be truely "up to speed" here is a great article on "do's and don'ts. Check it out at guru3d.com

Might as well...
 

I say if you're gonna spend $300 for a card, might as well go the extra mile and spend $500! ;)

Don't forget...
 

You need plenty of system memory for this game as well, at least 1GB is healthy.

256MB video is my standard. I am using the 6800 Ultra NVidia card. It was around 480$ and very well worth it. 128 MB vid ram just does not cut it.

LOL, I just realized this thread was responded to and it about a year old!! Wow!

Ah!
 

Holy hell... you're right! oh my jebus... i feel tainted, haha.
