The 6600 is a pretty weak graphics card.  Upgrade to a 7800 or better.

Also you will need at least a single fast SATA dedicated disk to play 3 DV layers
(seperate from the system disk).

I am using a macbook pro with an external e-sata disk and a triplehead2go.  I can get good
performance however I am using quicktimes rendered at the three screen aspect ratio 4:1 
and only play two layers at once.
