OT: Deciding on a new graphics card

[luke_slovakian]

I don't mean to be a bumm and nock you guys off but if you're going midrange get the 8800 GT if you don't want that get the 7950. IF you can afford 340 get the 8800 GTS w/ 640 megs ram and later add on the top cooler for 30 bucks which takes up another slot opening on the comp. The 8800 work on xp they are not only vista. I know this b/c my friend had 7950, 8600 (NEVER GET THIS ONE, IT SUCKS the 7950 is much better), 8800 ultras. Furthermore my friend also works for Nvidea. If you wish i can ask him what he recommends for your setup. But i would get a 8800 GTS w/ 640 ram and in few years buy another and SlI it to run any new games that are out, or the 7950. Take care and good luck
