Ok, so right of the bat, I've narrowed it down to the XFX 6600 GT Standard Edition / XFX Extreme Gamer Edition or the Gainward 6600GT Golden Sample /GLH edition.

The reason I choose these two brands was because they both support dual DVI out in the back which is what I'm looking for.

I'm not sure whether to spend an extra $80~$100 on getting the Extreme Edition XFX of GLH Gainward hence they come with 1.6ns memory and handpicked GPUs.

I can pickup the XFX 6600 GT for $255 Canadian and I cant seem to find any of those other two models anywhere yet.

The Gainward would be the ultimate card to have since it has a video in which can be very handy for video capturing from Sat or a good ole VHS machine :)

Anyone else have any recommendations?

I have been very pleased with my "Standard" XFX 6600GT AGP, and with additional cooling have been able to get it to levels well beyond my expectation. The dual DVI was the main selling point, though I also like the blue pcb and the wide availability! Instead of buying the special versions of these cards, I'd buy one of the more widely available and much better priced standard versions and use the difference to invest in some better cooling etc. :D
