I have a very similar card (6600GT / AGP / 128M) by Chaintech and it is a
great value for $148 USD at Newegg.com

If £99.99 converts to $124 USD, then it looks like a great
deal. I have a Chaintech 6600GT AGP which is clocked the same as this
card (500Mhz/900Mhz core/memory), and I love it. With the GDDR3
memory, you can overclock the memory higher as well.
I suspect eBuyer is Europe's version of the US's Newegg, and
if so, we can only get an AGP 6600GT for no less than $143 USD, or
£114.980.

Thats a great buy, I've just bought a 6800gt cos the 6600gts were £140,
wish I had of held on a bit now. I suppose I could always downgrade lol.

Definitely a good buy that here in the UK, don't forget to check if the
prices are before VAT or not. Also check out the Galaxy 6600GT card, I
think that was only a few pounds dearer and is very well put together.
If it was the AGP you're after the Galaxy definitely come out of the box
at 500/1050 core/memory speed, I have had one for a few months now.

I bought my card from Scan: http://www.scan.co.uk I've always found them
very reliable and helpful, and returning stuff to Ebuyer can be a little
difficult sometimes. They also have both the Gainward 6600GT Ultra
Golden Sample and the Galaxy 6600GT in stock at the moment.

Thank you all for your replies! Much appreciated!

I remember before buying the Sapphire Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB I had a dilemma
between the "128-bit" and the "256-bit" bandwidth version. So was wondering if
there were any compromises for this "value" card.

All 6600GT cards are 128bit. None are 64bit, or 256bit. You'd
have to go to at least a 6800 standard to get 256bit memory bus. If
you would decide to settle for a standard 6600 though, you'd need to
watch out as there are some with 64bit memory buses.

Possibly cos the 7600 GT is coming soon. The 6600 GTs are getting really
cheap. You can get a 256MB 6600 GT for like ¢G140 now at www.scan.co.uk

Crikey, that must been an error on their part.
