Check some of the hardware sites (www.sharkyextreme.com,
www.anandtech.com, www.tomshardware.com, etc.), they have tests and
recommendations on graphic cards. The 6600GT 128 Mb seems to be the
recommended high-mainstream card at the moment.

I don't know much about the 6600 stuff but I have a Asus GeForce4 Ti
4200 128MB card and it's been working great for 4 years or so!

Gonna stick with Asus video cards!

As it worked out I went to NewEgg to order a ASUS 6600, and wound up
getting a EVGA 6600GT instead....I hope its as fast as it makes out to
be.
