can anyone help? i need a budget card that can run BF2, budget is £70. I found a geforce 6600 ddr2 256mb. Is there anything better for this price range?
 
This is all for my bro who im makin a budget pc for, this is what the list looks like so far

80gig seagate hdd (spare one i have)
GF 6600 256MB DDR2 PCI-E DVI
AMD Athlon 64 3200+ Socket 939 512KB
Corsair Memory VS1GBKIT400 PC3200 2x512MB CAS2.5
asus sli deluxe (a spare board i have)
 
i hear though the 6600 can easily be clocked to the same speed as the gt?

i couldnt decide on the memory either, but i think it is important and 57 quid for memory like that is pretty good.

im gonna overclock the cpu tp 2.4 ghz and set the memory timings, bring the 6600 to the 6600 gt clock speeds and i think for £280 it will be better than him buying a pc from a shop for the same money.

just got that system plugged the 6600 ddr2 in and installed bf2 and its fine, running it on mdeium settings at 1024 + 768 and it looks nice and smooth play, really think people understimate some of the cheaper cards.
 
Yea i did give overlockin a go got it to something like 450/750 but if i bought xfx version i would have got more out of it.
