A standard 6600 with 256MB will cost you about 120,000 won or less.
I've seen some as low as 112,000 won with 128MB.

How's the 6200 OC operating stats vs the 6600?

No idea, it was an impulse buy from Costco because my 9500pro had been locking up and it was listed cheaper than the 6600s at my local store.
I could have gotten a 6600 $25 cheaper via Tiger Direct if I was willing to wait a couple of days for delivery, but you know how that old joke goes- "A woman will pay $2 for a $4 item she doesn't need, and a man will pay $10 for a $5 item he needs right away".

I just needed something to tide me over until going PCIe, and I'm extremely happy with the performance so far, but the only benchmarks I've been using have the been the good ol' eyeball MKI (actually MKII in my case, since I had laser surgery).

And a 6800 is still a good $70-$100+ CDN more than what I bought.

A year or two ago computer parts prices between Canada and Korea were pretty much neck-and-neck, but it certainly seems that they've dropped substantially in Korea, at least when compared to Canada? At least that's the impression I'm getting, I haven't looked into it closely.

I have been very happy with my Radeon 9600 XT

256M DDR SDRAAM
500 Mhz graphics engine clock

I got it at technomart for a little over 150 000 won.
