The Radeon X800 Pro is slightly faster. See benchmarks at

My experience has taught me that it depends almost entirely
on your mobo and cpu chipset. Personally, I find that the nVidia
cards tend to perform poorly in the AMD systems, but are
superior in the Intel systems. My ATI 9800 Pro, can kick the
everloving crap out of an nVidia GF 6800 ( that is "8" ) in testing
both in my AMD64 system. But the same 6800 in a P4 runs
much better ( as it should ) than the 9800 in an AMD. Why?
Heck if I know, but I see it all the time. So that 6600 might be
a real dog in the wrong box. Take care, and those benchmarks
are misleading that way.

Is there a corelation between the mobo chipset and the video card?

Sure is if they are writing to the pure Intel standard. On a P4,
Coolbits
can set registry values with no problems. On an AMD system, Coolbits
seems to be locked out, and you have to use RivaTuner ... and then
Coolbits
will agree with the new settings. I've seen even simpler problems that
speak directly to the chipset. On an AMD64 system, you cannot run a
software
dongle on the parallel port without first installing a 64 bit dongle
driver.
On a P4-64 .. no problem at all. My mobo .. GA-K8NS .. is now on its
14th BIOS revision. Huh ??? Seriously, the latest BIOS is F14, and that
is over a period of one year. My last Christmas K8NS was an F4 ?????
