GeForce 6600GT for the miser in you

The ever-dependable AnandTech has blessed us with another preview of some upcoming hardware. The next offering by Nvidia will be a GeForce 6600GT. It promises high end power for a low cost. The thorough preview lays out the argument for splurging on something that isn't quite top-of-the-line. They also make the good point that the PCI Express version of the card will only run on Intel systems. It's a good observation, actually, since AMD doesn't support PCIe yet. That will change, of course, but in the short-term many of us will have an affordable option on the shelves soon.
