Geforce 8600 GT

I'm looking to buy a Geforce 8600 GT and i noticed that the GPU and memory speeds are different on different manufacturers.
So Since the Leadtek GeForce 8600 GT Extreme 256MB GDDR3 has a GPU of 590mhz does that make it faster than the Asus GeForce 8600 GT 256MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI because it as 540mhz? ^_^;;

Well thats good to know but i don't plan on overclocking at the moment lol
But that still doesn't answer my question does the clock speed make a difference becasue the leadtek card has more mhz than the asus....?

thx ^_^;;
I just thought it would be a good idea to ask....the way i see it is, just because it has a higher number doesn't make it faster.

Just like with Intel and AMD CPU's

i see what u mean but the reason i'm getting a geforce 8 is because i want the dx10 feature lol.
i look at the card u stated and it doesn't say anything on it about dx10.
i'm just trying to make my self a little future proof ^_^;;
i'm upgrading my current rig ya see with £300 so thats why i'm going for the geforce 8600.

i'm also getting a asus AM2 motherbaord and AMD X2 3800+. Corsair 2gb 6400 DDR2 RAM.

why would ya say that? O_o;;
Is the 8600 like the GeforceFX with the whole dx 9 problem
how long have i been away, When did everyone start using Intel? O_O;;

here's my current comp:
A7N8X Deluxe 1008 rev 1.04
XP2400+ 2ghz
Geil 2x512mb PC3200 RAM
Asus V9980 Geforce FX 5950 Ultra 256MB
SoundStorm
Windows XP Pro SP2
CoolerMaster Aero 7 Lite
Thermaltake Xaser III case
Antec TruePower2.0 550W

So basicly what your saying is i'm screwed due to the lack of money? O_o;;
couldn't i just buy the same card later on and connecting them using SLI?
wouldn't that be enough for a dx10 game? O_o;;

Whats all this about everyone using Intel?
