good question...i was looking around for a good video card that had 2 DVI outs...that was one i came across, good reviews..

the standard is what is reccomended for the board; just remember, the higher the DDRxxxx is, the more overclockable the ram is because it can handle a way higher fsb.

here is one thats a lil cheaper but just as good. evga 7600GT 256mb: $109

EDIT: ahh, dual dvi, brb

evga 7600gt 256mb 119.99

man what is it with the evga's? theres like 4 of the same cards with the only diff being sli/no sli, or dual dvi, or dvi and d-sub

E6300. You'll save around 50 bucks.

I have no experience in Overclocking, nor do I even know where to begin.

I really need some good render power. I tend to work with huge images in Photoshop and will switch between programs while something is rendering out...I guess this is where the C2D will come into play..but the more power the better. Should I go with the E6300 and try to squeeze 2.5Ghz out of it? Or is overclocking something I (not a hardware savvy person) should even think about?
