Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT

Pros: Relatively cheap price but the performance is amazing

Cons: No software game bundle with the one I purchased from eVGA

Summary: If you are like me you would never in your life fork out $1000 for a graphics card and thus you and I would never see what all the fuss is about. I'm in a computer store looking to build one and low and behold there sits the 6600 GT on sale for $200. To me that’s even a bit extreme but I decided to try it out anyway, I mean it really can't make that much of a difference can it? Boy was I ever wrong, I had not played a video game since the mid 80’s having lost all interest in the Atari 2600, now teleport to now and the 6600GT. This card opens up a whole new world, a world in which the high-end gamers go and I was not going to ever pay for admission. This 6600 GT is like a backstage pass, it lets you not only join this new world it lets you participate in a big way. If you buy this card I promise you, you won’t stop there because then here comes Half-Life 2 and then Doom 3 and then…..
