OT: Deciding on a new graphics card

[narf poit chez BOOM]

Nope, no PCI Express 2.0...And they probably aren't compatible, either.

Well, I got my new video card, and while I wasn't impressed with the HD output (it was a vast improvement over my previous card's HD output but still not enough), I think that's more a factor of having a cheap HDTV, so I switched back to VGA like I was using before.
Now, to try out some games and stuff...
I'd say something about Windows Vista running a lot smoother now, but that's probably more a function of the extra RAM I added than the video card...

umm where did you hear series 9 was out tomorrow? Either way I would go with a:

Geforce 8800 GT 512MB
or
Geforce 8800 GTS 512MB(not sure this is released yet)
