if the card isn't as good as what you already have, just ask your dad if he could return it for store credit or a refund. if it's not returnable, sell or trade it. | |

Well its a regular nvidia one. But he paid 150 for it. And i can return it. But should i put the 150 down on a 9800pro or on the 6600gt. Cause the 9800pro is running 256bit. and in guessing its better than 6600gt but i want to make sure. | |
