whats your budget and what will you be doing? like gaming, video editing, etc...
if price and money are not a facter then i recommend the X1900XT
but out of the two i think the 6600gt is better
you can get more info on video card at Video Card 101

Dont go with the X1900XTX, it is a huge waste of money. Its about $60-$100 more than the X1900XT for only like a 25Mhz increase in the core clock. Just but the X1900XT and OC it to the level of a X1900XTX... I just bought this one myself:

You could even get the X1800XT and overclock it to X1900XTX

But also the X1900XT isn't that much more expensive, and has better OC'ing abilities... but we will find out.
