For some reason...i've never heard of these models before^^; Huh.

Well i did some comparisons for them. I'd go with the GeForce 6800 instead of the chaintech 6600gt. The 6800 has a 256-Bit Memory Interface which is terrific as opposed to the 6600 that is 128-bit. Both cards are all GDDR3 so good choosing there.

You have a Sempron? I'm not sure if your processor will be able to catch up with the rendering from the advanced graphics card. I do see where a bottleneck is potential.

If price is an issue than you should go with the 6600. The x800 model...it looks good too but if you can, try to get some detailed specs on them. More importantly, see if either card won't be too big for your PCI Slot.
