128Mb will suffice unless you are playing on insane resolutions like 1600*1200 in which case a sub 13k card wont do good in any case. At 13k go for the 6600GT, best price\performance ratio. The 256Mb versions shud be abit costly @ 15-16k; but those are not worth it imho.

man, i wanna buy a card, i do have the money

but exams start next month, and i havent started yet

any recomendations,

i am thinking of going for 6600gt , this will be my first gfx card. so i have no experiance,

will i be able to limit gaming to 1 - 2 hrs a day ?

or it is irresitable ?

how urs went ?

The 6600GT, avoid xfx since it has heating problems even with the rev2 cooler. Get leadtek, gainward or asus.

Depends Initially you wont be able to i guess. Been gaming since 10-12 years now, but everytime i get a new game or hardware i cant resist. But it wears off over time The first time you will be like "OMG ! This is so gr8"

or it is irresitable ?

Refer above

AIW or all in wonders have VIVO capabilities ot video in video out for video capture. Normally AIWs have Tv tuning, Fm tuning etc capabilties. Thus it serves as a true entertainment hub. These features are not present in the normal models, hence the price.

Hey thanks .
I think going for a feature rich TV tuner nd a seperate Gcard would be better.
