    Now you will have ruined all their lives.

    Nice one

    Honestly until my GTX starts falling behind in most games (except Crysis) i will find a reason to upgrade. Or i have money burning a hole in my pocket and there is something that blows the GTX away ill upgrade.

    Exactly what I am thinking Scotty. If I get another GTX to run SLI or a different card I will need to upgrade my 550W PSU so I want to hang out until the GTX is useless lol. I am getting myself 2GB more RAM for Christmas though .

    If you're running a 32bit OS, It can only utilize ~2.75gb of RAM.


    Just saying.

    I know, but even that slight extra bit may be worth it.

    Might have to go 64, which will be a pain though, useless stupid 32 bit.

    Have to love inheritance don't ya

    it's much better than 10%, we need some direct comparison like same set up just different cards before we can really tell.

    Scotty is right, results mean nuthn if they are not from the same system.

    32bit windows can see a maximum of 4GB RAM including VRAM. If you have 4GB of RAM with a 512MB graphics card windows will count that as around 3-3.5GB of total system RAM.

    I'm going to be picking up a 512 8800GTS next week if all goes well. I've been told that my store will have them next week.
