6600 is shader model 3.0, but if u go with 6600GT u will be happy

Best Graphics card for £60-£70

See Video Card 101

i paid 250 for my 6600gt two years ago.

Strange ... according to nVidia, they were relased just over a year ago

Also you can unlock the 6800 to the GT..... am i right?

Depends on the exact card

However you wont be hitting the high clocks due to the voltage used on the RAM

for 6800 it is ok, but not x800

Fanboysm?

yea but u can unlock it to 16 pipes.

Unlocking ATi cards is arguably easier (and they all use the low voltage memory allowing for higher clocks)

6600 is shader model 3.0, but if u go with 6600GT u will be happy

For all intents and purposes, yes however do be aware of technicalities
