I talk to another girl a lot. She seems to be perfect for me and has similar experiences and motivations in her life. I don't know what to do because my girlfriend makes my life miserable at times because she gets really jealous of anyone I talk to. I believe the other girl really likes me and feels the same. Should I throw away 6 years together and take a chance with the other girl?

Its a risk you're gonna have to choose whether to take or not. Compatibility is a BIG deal, but there's no guarantee that the grass will be greener on the other side. I reckon its always best to evaluate whether to breakup with a partner whilst keeping the "other potential partner" out of mind and out of the equation.
If you start comparing two people, its gotta be an even playing field... but as it stands you'll be comparing someone you've dated for 6 years, know very well, good sides and bad for an idea/fantasy of what dating this new girl would be like. Not all great friendships will transform into great relationships and whilst you may see all the good sides of her right now, but have you seen any of the bad? So yeah... beware of glorification.
Anyhoo... good luck with your decision :)
