getting a 6600 (notGT) as fast as a 6600gt

hi can you get a 6600 256mb agp to be as fast as a 6600gt or is it just impossible?

unfallible

You could try, but most likely it is impossible. IIRC, the 6600 has ddr ram, versus DDR3 on the GT. Which means you'll have a heck of a time getting anything remotely close to the same memory speed.

I like the 6600, it's a good solid mainstream product. But that's what it is only. There was that 6600LE OC version which you could unlock the pipelines and clock a bit more up and it would be in proximity of the 6600GT. There's the 6200 AGP (initial release version) which can be tuned to perform against a 6600 or better. And there's the 6800XT(?) which can also be clocked up to fight against the 6800 or near the 6800GT.

With a 6600, all you can do is clock it and hope to be somewhere in the middle of a vanilla and a 6600GT. Since there aren't any pipelines to unlock and clocking it also has its limits.

But it's a good product anyway, have one myself.

You will probably never get a 6600 to run like a 6600GT, but its a nice card for its price, but certainly not one you would want to consider if you're going to be gaming.
