Yeah that is what I wanted to believe as well.
Fact is that with the 6600GT you won't be able to load any non-power of 2 square texture.
Either due to hardware or because the drivers enforce DX7 specifications.
The 8xxx drivers, which emulate DX7 through shaders, just to mention that, do that as well.
If you play "cool kid" and use media not following DX7 specs, you can only lose, not win.
