P phucng_10 Fully Optimized Messages 2,456 Location San Jose, California Aug 20, 2007 #7 Gaming, especially that 8800GTS. Otherwise maybe a 8600GT would be to your likes of video editing, photoshopping, CAD, etc.

Pdawg In Runtime Messages 383 Location American in Hong Kong Aug 20, 2007 #10 Just do the 8800GTS. Directx10 compatible with Vista and will last you a while until you really "need" to upgrade. If you just want it to run then go 8600GT imho.
