My MSI Ti4200 has died... which sucks because it was still a good card for me. :( I can not even boot my computer with out artifacts and a BSOD that says Frame Buffer during the windows XP boot up screen. I have made a decision for a 6600GT since my budget is sub $200 which leaves me with

Chaintech <-- looks to have a nice cooler that includes the ram

XFX

MSI <-- Also has a nice looking cooler

Gigabyte

Which of these would be the best choice?? I am thinking eaither the MSI or Chaintech... any reason not to?

BTW Do you think the 6600GT would be much of a upgrade to my temporary card in my sig? :p (and no that’s not a typo in my sig)
 
i love my XFX6600gt check out my stg for my benchies i think they are a lil above avg. for a M-XP but ppls with an A64 will pull 1k-1.5k better than me so... thats my 2 cents!!
 
The gigabyte also uses better memory than most of the others. Afaik the cooling on the giga does not include the mem chips though since its ddr3 it doesn;t get very hot either.
