I am thinking of buying another 6600 pcie card to get better graphics capibility. Question should I just change to 6800, how much better would this be than my 6600? Any help would be much appreciated.
 
I think it would benefit you a lot more for the price its worth. Should be able to get hold of a 6800GS which should overclock and you would notice a good difference..
 
you thought about the Leadtek 6600GT DDR3 OCuk have on this week only £89inc vat, is like 500mhz gpu and 1000mhz mem at stock....YEAH BOYEEEE! and SLi, im nearly tempted to upgade to 64 and buy 2 of them lol

i have tried it 6600Gt in sli it is pants just get 1 card sli is a big white elephant
 
SLI on the lower series cards does seema a bit pointless as you can get one higher series card for cheaper that will perform the same if not better in most games. (6800gt compared to 6600gt).

I would suggest depending on your processor something like the 6800gs/gt or even the x850xt which is faster than either of these although limits your ability to upgrade as you can't just throw another one in.
 
having said all that, I've got a 6600GT that I run at 700/1100 atm and its solid, CS:S and EVE mainly but some DOW:WA and COD2 all at playable FPS with AA and AF on at 2 or 4x depending, most games at 1024x768 or 1600x(whatever) for EVE and DOW,
its a good card if you can't afford the extra
