Re: Nvidia GeForce 6600 GT Express Graphics Card

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance

Is the express and the 6600 one of the same. I do have the AGP but the
express would not fit in my computer. I did notice a big difference in
price but thought the 6600 was my only option with the type of motherboard
that I have. Now I am wondering if I should go back to Best Buy and see
if they can order the express for my type of motherboard? Anyone know.

Tks

Your original post mentions a 6600GT and you received a 6600???
I would also check to see if you were charged for a
6600GT....................or a 6600
There is quite a bit of difference in the performance of theses 2 cards
not to mention price.

Thanks...... it is AGP. I do have a AMD Athlon 64
processor...3400+....2.40 GHz, 1.00 gb of ram.

For the express card, they deducted 179.99 and charged me 176.99 for the
AGP one plus 34.00 installation.

It sounds like that is the correct one, right? I am sure I paid top
dollar but I was afraid to do it myself.

Thanks
Mary

Do you mean you expected a PCI express graphics card but got an AGP
graphics card? They would fit the type suitable for your motherboard.
What motherboard do you have? Although there are a few MBs that take
both AGP and PCI express they are few and far between. Have a look on
the reciept they gave you and see what they charged you for.

Okay, I went to Best Buy and purchased this card at 199.00 with a
instant rebate of 20.00. An hour later they said that card was not the
right connection type and substituted another one which I thought was
another Express one. I had them do the installation too.

When I got home, I noticed that the box was NOT an Exrpress one. It
was a GeForce 6600.

Should I take this card back and complain?

Thanks
Mary
