**mymoogoescow** · 09-02-2006, 02:21 AM

Looking for a good video card but cheap 128mb and up. currently looking at the [geforce 6600 256mb pci express ddr3 eVGA] for 100$ any suggestions?

$100 for Geforce 6600? You gotta be kidding man. You will get that card in China. Off the place where they sell stolen stuff.

Best recommedation around that price is the Radeon 9550, but even so I doubt you will be able to get it for $100.

How decent can ya get for $100..... You'll get what you pay for bud. Hate to be the bearer of bad news but its worth forking out an extra hundred or so for somethin worthwhile

That's a bit like going to a brothel asking for the full package but only wanting to pay $20.

Your expectations are far to high for $100.

You may need to rethink budget...

what is the specs of your pc? will it even be able to use the card to its fullest?

Never thought I'd get the chance to use this line, but anyone remember the contractors triangle on The Fast and the Furious?

Cheap + Good = Not Fast

Cheap + Fast = Not good

Good + Fast = Not cheap

Applies to more than cars...
