In short, No it is not good, but it really depends on what you want to use it for. | |

okay ppl, he is wanting to spend the equivilant of a 5500....so a 6600Gt is a tad far-fetched.
okay what we need to know is your budget and what you will be doing with the card (gaming, graphics..) | |

6000 gt and 6800 gt or ultra cards are mainly for graphics designers and gamers. | |

Well hes right inbetween, gaming and basics. ID suggest if ur just a light gamer get a 9600pro. About the same price, and its a great card. Much better than the 5500, which is basically a 5200 for more money,

Its kinda stupid that 5500 is ripping people who dont know about Gfx card that much lol. Same performance but added 128VGA ram so that people think its faster lol
