Hello again.  I was wondering what the major differance in video card manufacturers is.   Is an ASUS 6600gt better than an XFX or gigabite  etc.  could someone shed some light on this matter for me?

Its seems the best card right now is either the LEadtek or the XFX cards. Leatek due to its design and XFX due to its slightly faster memory.

Read this article for further info. Read the conclusion if nothing else:

That article was interesting in regards to the problem of HSF attachment on the 6600 design. Certainly a cause for concern and actual choice of manufacturer.
