Nah, the first guy is right, it really was the same damn card. The reason I bought it was because I've always had problems with this ATI, so i just wanted something that worked, that did not cost a fortune. In the end, I decided to just take the time and fix the ATI as best as I could (remount fan, resolder, shit like that). In the end, it still has heat problems, but it's working better now than It ever did.
Eh, I've switch over to ATI from Nvidia and never looked back. But then again, I don't buy the same card when it's 'that' old (but that's just the gamer in me talking). :-)

You bought yourself a new card, and it was the same one as your old one, that you've had for 2 years... is it just me or does that not make any sense?
Makes perfect sense, a good card is a good card.
Not really, the 6600 hasnt been out for two years.

The 6600GT was released in December 2004.
I've owned 3 ATI cards, and not one of them worked properly... ever. Mostly driver troubles. nVidia brand has never given me troubles at all.
I cant stand ATI drivers, Omega is a great way to get the most out of your Radeon though...
