Im ready to plop down the money for this card but I have no idea which manufacturer to get. There are so many different vendors making this card that I wouldnt know where to begin. Can someone help?
 
XFX, follows the reference design exactly, has a pretty blue PCB, and even comes slightly overclocked. Plus their packaging is super excellent and damage during shipping is very unlikely.
 
agp or pci-e? I like my agp msi, but the heatsink only appears copper, so if you've looking at them, that's something to keep in mind.
 
hey man first of all, i gotta say good choice of card to go with, i recommend you to get the Asus or the giga-byte one it come with a nice coloured PCB and great package aswell, but also keep in mind the leadtek 6600Gt, they have the best coolers for the 6600GT range.

Really? I think Leadtek got da worst cooler for their 6600GT although Leadtek has 1.6 ns memory for their video card. Addtionally, Leadtek has pre-overclocked its Extrem Edition to 550/1100Mhz.

The best cooler I would like to vote for ASUS, they're all Cu coolers and got da RAM sink as well. However, ASUS 6600GTs often come with 2.0 ns V-RAM. I belive the package which is bundled with Doom 3 uses the 1.6 ns but there clock seems to be lower than Leadtek Extreme Edition :d.

I am saying PCI-e series and I am choosing Leadtek Extreme Edition. ;)
