the 6600 will perform much better than the 9600. in concerns to the 6600gt oc vs. plain 6600gt - im not sure on this but i think the only difference from a 6600gt oc to a normal 6600gt is the fact that the oc comes from the factory already overclocked. its not worth it to pay extra for a bit of an overclock when you could easily do it yourself with the push of a button. if you get a 6600gt get a good brand such as an msi, evga, leadteck, or xfx.
