To those who bought the Leadtek 6600GT AGP
How do you like it, any buyer's remorse? I'm about to order one.

All the reviews I read where of the AGP version as I was looking for an AGP card. I now find that the PCI-e versions are cheaper as they don't require the interface chip, or need external power (and PCI-e sales are lower than expected?). The money I would have saved could have gone towards a new PCI-e motherboard! |

The AGP is on its way out and you got yourself one of the finest AGP cards that runs extremely well for its price. And when you finally get yourself one of those luxury PCI-e mobos, you can save that card for your old PC. |

I could look at at that way, but why should anyone else who isn't aware of lower PCI-E price make a similer mistake? |

Whoops, I have the PCI Express version, you were asking about AGP.

Only problem I have in my Dual-Boot system (98SE+XP Pro) is the most
recent 66.94 driver for Win98. The games don't run. No problem in XP Pro with Doom3 and UT2004 although I didn't run any benchmarks. The installed driver is 66.93. I think the cooling fan on Leadtek 6600GT AGP is very good. The nvidia driver interface displays 60 grade Celcius after gameplay which drops quickly to 43-45. I had 70-75 grade Celcius with my older Leadtek FX5600. (I have an Antec Sonata TruePower 380 which has a 120 mm rear fan.) Tim wrote: How do you like it, any buyer's remorse?
