well, i guess you're right about that. I still want a pretty high-end card though, so do you think i should get the GeForce 8800 GTS 640MB instead? it's about $200 cheaper for a loss of 128MB. That way, i can still get the benefits of the card, without going too far. If not, what card would fit into that budget if i were to get a med-high end motherboard/CPU like the P35?
