my compy is a home built:

XP Pro 32bit
Intel core 2 duo E8400 3.0GHz 45nm
8600GT 512MB
4GB Kingston HyperX DDR2 1066
400GB SATA HDD
500w PSU

I will get Win7 later this year, probably 64bit.

Not the best, but pretty good I think.

 

slap a new gpu in there and it will be up there

Considering this, what do you think?

go for something better like a 9800gt or gtx

 

These are my only 9 series choices, at least from new egg, with a PCIExpress x16. All others seem to be the newer PCIExpress 2.0 version which I don't think my mobo can do. I'll have to double check that.

Yeah, my mobo can not do the 2.0 version.

pci express 16 2.0 works with the old boards.

 

I put a geforce 9800 in my moms that works just fine.
