Hi All. I'm a pretty much a complete newbie having got my first rig just 4 months ago. It is as follows: P5N-E SLI, Q6600, nVidia 8600GT, 4GB ram, 500GB HDD, 650 watt PSU, Thermaltake Tsunami case. Perhaps a bit ambitiously I am dual booting Vista 64x and Ubuntu 7.10 64x. Everything is going well and I have received some great help from forums (especially with Ubuntu) All in all I'm loving it and feeling more confident each day. I've had no problems with either OS and I feel Vista receives a lot of negative comment without much justification. Ubuntu is just superb. However, I was given Crysis and Bioshock for Christmas and I don't think my 8600GT is capable of doing them justice. Consequently I was thinking about upgrading to a 8800GT so I have a few queries: Is this a worthwhile upgrade? Is this card compatible with my motherboard and other components? Will it fit into the Tsunami case? Is it simple to put in etc? I know that's a lot of questions but can anyone advise me? Thanks and seasons greetings, john |
