No. It seems as if NVIDIA didn't specify any "reference" memory clock for
the 6600 and sold it as their "throw your cheapest memory on this" model...

But another interesting thing:

| The Nvidia NV43 6600 is a native PCI Express video graphics processor
| compared to the earlier GeForce 6800 which are native AGP and use a
| bridge chip to PCI Express. For the AGP GeForce 6600 graphics card
| versions Nvidia use a PCI Express to AGP bridge chip.

Is that still true, or has NVIDIA "silently" released newer 6800s which are
native PCIex?

See, that's why I wouldn't buy an 6800: You just don't know easily what
you'll get. Will it be the original AGP chip with the broken video engine,
or is there possibly an updated chip that's native PCIex and has the video
engine fixed...?

That's why I stuck with the 6600GT. You know it's true PCIex and that the
video engine is fixed...
