I would choose the 7600GS. It will outperform the 6600GT in nearly every area.

For the same price you can have a much nicer card...
Radeon X1950GT
or
nVidia 7800GS

Don't think that more memory on a video card is necessarily better.

Yep...the 6600gt has 8 pixelpipelines, 7600gs has 12. The 2 cards Major mentioned, both have 16 pixelpipelines, GDDR3 memory, and double the bus width with a 256bit interface. Definite improvement over both the cards you mentioned, and the EVGA 7800gs is $119.99 after $30 MIR.

I would recommend you upgrade to the 7800gs unless you already own the other 2 cards, then choose the 7600gs.
