Yet another video card.

[Shocky]

First let me apologize for asking so many questions!

I'm wondering if this is as good of a deal as it sounds, I really think the price is reasonable and it seems really nice.

How much better is it than a 7300GT (7300GT

Newegg.com - XFX PVT84JUDD3 GeForce 8600GT XXX 256MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

its a ton better, if the MIR goes through.

 

[Prototype]

Up your budget, try to get this one:

Newegg.com - MSI NX8800GTS 320M OC GeForce 8800GTS 320MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

or this one:
Newegg.com - XFX PVT88SFDF4 GeForce 8800GS 384MB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards

or a 9600gt

I don't have the power supply to run a 9600.

 

[gurusan]

a 9600GT has a thermal envelope of 95W

That's just under 8 amps....What sort of PSU do you have?

and the rest of your setup inc drives?

I don't know what else you need to know, the only peripherals I have is 2 dvd rom drives, mouse and keyboard, and a headset hooked up to the USB slot.
