Asus Extreme N6600GT - Page 01
Last
week we examined ATi's X700 pro card, targeted towards the mainstream market.
It's now time to take a look at what rival Nvidia has to offer in the way
of the 6600GT chipset.
In the following table you will find a sum up of the major
differences between the various versions of Nvidia Geforce 6 based cards:

As you can see, the Extreme N6600GT differs from other 6600GT
based cards, with slightly increased clock speeds and of course, slightly
increased price.
