If not, a dual-slot should be fine. I'm more interested in the new Radeon 4850 and especially the 4870, but that's another $100. If you can, get a 4870, but if that's too much, an 8800GT is a great card. Don't get the Nvidia GTX 260 or whatever they're called, they're far too overpriced for what you get. |
I'm totally interested in more power, but I don't think the extra cost would be more worth it to me (for now at least). Again, I have a 19" CRT monitor that isn't even wide screen AND I don't have Vista so I'm not sure where all of that juice will be going should I pick up something like the 4870 or 4850.
If anything, I was thinking that maybe I could wait to see what happens to the market after I buy the 8800gt and if things fall even more, I might be able to slip in an upgrade through EVGA's step up program (don't you have only 90 days once you register your card to step up?).
