Re: 6600 GT vs 6800 GT seen by a mate

You originally said 6600 and 6800, but then quoted 6600 128MB and 6600 256MB. Nuff said.

Hmmm, maybe just a typo cause link goes to a 6800... although it is a US site, and the Americans pay noticeably less than us.

Not that much less!

Clicking "compare prices" on the second link shows that the cheapest there is £350. That's about £200 once you chuck in VAT.

Yeah, good point... if they were selling 6800GTs for £130 then I'd snap them up and make a mint reselling them on fleabay
