XFX GEFORCE 8600 GTS PREVIEW

"Fight between the XFX GeForce 8600 GTS and the Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro. XFX GeForce 8600 GTS appears to have the speed by offering 155 Mhz faster core and 880 Mhz faster memory. However there is one problem with the XFX GeForce 8600 GTS and that is it's 128 Bit memory interface which is half of the 256 Bit interface found on Connect3D Radeon x1950 Pro."
