Hmm, no I don't think I'm gonna get the 8800GTS, that's a little too "top-of-the line" for me, I'm just looking for a card that will do me good, last me a year probably, and then i'll be upgrading my PC i'm sure.

Thanks, I'll keep looking, and will keep the x1950xt in mind =)

Any other suggestions, post please!

8800gt as i posted... it comes out in 6days.. its gonna be:

$200 for 256mb and $250 for 512mb. That's the word on the street. But not likely for the first month.

according to him.. but that seems accurate..

i'm not familiar with their stuff, but all i know is that they suck... but check the dual 12v amperage... but he can't merely switch it out.... they use a proprietary ones don't they?

Will this x1950XT card be fully compatible with my PC?

Is there anything I need to check for, other than the interface?

its your PSU and Video Card..

sorry if i'm a pain, but what do I need to check on my PSU? And do I need to remove my case to do so, or can I just check it through dxdiag or something?

Amperage on the 12V Rails... open your case and tell me the number for the rail (or rails) and check if it has a PCI-e connector for your video card....

what do you mean by proprietary?

its not exactly the ones we use.... in a typical build... b1gapl can explain better
