depends is it 128bit or 64bit DDR2? I ask because the 128bit DDR2 card preforms like a 6600 DDR2 aka between 6600 and 6600GT, while the 64bit model runs more like a 6200 and is total junk. The good ones that are worth saving though would be the 7300GT DDR3 cards, those where uncommon and only made …
