Stay away from 9600's

Go for the 9800GTX if you have the cash. Otherwise the 8800 Ultra

I'm with the idea of an EVGA and waiting for the new cards to arrive. Nvidia might just give us DX10.1 and SM4.1.

They should be arriving end of the month.

8800GTS 512MB cards are selling as low as R3K now (less than some 8800GT cards) so yeah I'd agree with Mike and go for one of those as there isn't much difference between the 8800GTS and 9800GTX (unless you're an avid overclocker and play your games on a 30" monitor).

The new cards are being released tomorrow but will be rather pricey.

I'd hold out for a few weeks before buying as pricing of the 8800 series is bound to start dropping with the release of ATI's 4850 card.

Andyman, gotta chat to you dude.

The crucials, got any that have a code similar to 16fd5 on them?

More Crucial 1066's (Ballistix and Tracers) on the way from the States as we speak.
I'll PM you the codes when they arrive.

Im not into over clocking much so yar but I do rendering and a lot of processing using photoshop, after affects, 3D max and so on...
and then when I am not working I play some games UT3, Quake Wars ET, Crysis things like that...
So Im looking for a card than can handle what I though at it and maybe more but that also for future upgrade go SLI

I am upgrading basically my whole box so yar
