I can get quite a few hits for it on Google, but most are foreign
(non-US) websites and/or mislabeled products. Can someone tell me if
this card actually exists?

I was thinking of going w/ the BFG 6600GT OC 128MB until I saw the
possibility that a 256MB version of the 6600GT might exist. I know it
does for PCI-E, but I'm stuck w/ AGP for a while.

While I'm posting, can anyone recommend a 6600GT card with 128 or 256?
Also, is all RAM on the 6 series cards DDRIII? Some specify that they
are, others just say DDR.

Thanks for any help. I'm looking to purchase soon to get ready for the
Fall season of game releases. Particularly Age III.

Atleast Gainward makes 6600GT AGP cards with 256MB of DDR3. Not sure
where you could purchase them though...

Another non-US site... I can't find them available for sale in the US
anywhere. What's the deal?

I believe some 6600GTs use faster DDR then others
900 (DDR 450mhz) or 1000 (DDR 500mhz)

Ok, so I found this:

http://3btech.net/panvge66258x.html

But I checked PALIT's site (www.palit.com.tw) and it doesn't have such
a thing. So I called 3btech and the guy on the phone said, "Yeah, it
is what it says." I don't know if I should believe him. Can anyone
confirm?

I also couldn't find ANYTHING on google regarding PALIT with such a
card...not even on over seas sites.

Archived from groups: alt.comp.periphs.videocards.nvidia (More info?)

So I'm finding more evidence on google about a PALIT 256MB card on
foreign sites, but not seeing it on their website makes me wonder
still.

So, should I just go w/ the BFG 6600GT OC 128MB AGP, or would a 6600GT
with 256 be worth the digging? Would it make much difference?

found one here: http://www.pricewatch.com/ ...it is the Palit. Kinda high tho...

That's the one from 3btech I about before. My issue w/ that one is
that PALIT doesn't have anything about it on their website. I've
written PALIT an e-mail to see if they actually make it.

Do you think $219 is a decent deal for that card?

I would go with the 128 6600gt I have one and it runs Doom 3
HL2 no problems, of course I am using a 3.2 prescott and 1 gig of ram.
the biggest boost was going from 512 of ram to 1 gig it smoothed all the
games out.

I'd just go for a 128MB 6600GT, or maybe a plain 128MB 6800.
Newegg has 6600GT AGP cards starting at $146.00, and 6800 AGP cards
starting at $165.00. I'm not sure of how the plain 6800 weighs in
against a 6600GT. I'm using a 6600GT AGP with an Athlon XP 3000+, and
games like Doom3, and HL2 run great.

On Newegg the XFX 6600GT AGP comes with both 128MB and 256MB, with
prices at $146 and $189 respectively.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150089
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814150113

The problem is that the 256MB card is clocked at 500/900, with the 128MB
card clocked at 500/1000. For the most part the 128MB card will be
faster, so you'd be paying more for a 256MB card that will be slower in
most games. It's not worth it. Either buy a 128MB 6600GT or buy a card
with a faster GPU.

I was talking about a standard 6800 vs a 6600GT.

If the memory is DDR3, I'm sure it can handle a 100Mhz
overclock.
