Who? Who Makes Good Cards Using NVIDIA-Who Doesn't?

OK, I have been reading many forums here researching what card I need to buy. I am going to get an nVidia Geforce 6600GT AGP Card. I wasn't concerned about the cost because they are all over the web and local and they can be had discounted.
 
My concern was quality by the manufacturer. I tried to find a website that compared manufacturers.
 
Does anyone know where I can look at comparasons of manufacturers based on quality, reliability, integrity  who makes the card using the nVidia 6600GT technology? Is there somebody out there that rates these people and shows their track record?
 
Simply put, I want to know who makes good ones and who doesn't.
 
Thanks!

    Good luck with that - the cards are almost all built by contract manufacturers - even companies like MSI and ASUS, which do make their own parts, subcontract the manufacture these days.

    I don't know any place that lists review of quality. But I would look at eVGA they have alwayse been a nVidia launch partner and thier cards are all Microsoft Certified too

    EVGA video cards have attained "Designed for Windows XP" certification. These video cards have passed rigorous testing and take full advantage of all of the features and capabilities that Microsoft Windows XP has to offer.

    My office currently has 2 of thier cards in Dell systems here, and both run without a hitch.

    I'll weigh in on the Leadteck card ( 6600 GT AGP version ) that is well liked by many.  Here is a forum link on my card and how I made everything work well.

    I like Apollo, EVGA, and PNY.

    PNY tends to be available in stores like COMPUSA or Best Buy.

    Maddog same.
