[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 61269, member: 18181"] The 6600 normally has 14.4 to 16 GB/sec memory bandwidth so I think there's more to it than that. Also, if it's a passively cooled model it may require overclocking to provide that level of bandwidth since most of those run at a slower clock speed than normal. [url]http://www.nvidia.com/page/geforce_6600.html[/url] The 6200 had 64 and 128 bit versions. Even the 128 bit versions probably didn't support 10GB/sec. Without knowing the clock speed I'd guess it was around 8GB/sec given when it was released. Make sure you try turning off cool n quiet since that seems to cause problems sometimes. No 64 bit card has 10GB/sec and I believe I posted a minimum clock speed for 128 bit cards in the ATSC support thread. I'd stick to the latest generation ATi or NVidia cards and avoid the lower end models to be safe. [/QUOTE]
