Current Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 7800GT 256MB

New Graphics Card: Nvidia GeForce 9800GTX+ 1GB

Should be a great card. Even though I will be bottle necking with my PCIx 16 1.0 Mobo, my performance should increase by a lot.

Other PC Specs:
AMD Athlon 64-bit 2.0GHz 3000+
2 GB of DDR PC3200 400MHz
600 Watt PSU
Dual Boot: XP (1) 120GB, (1) 160GB <---Schlup thinks it's funny.
16x DVD/RW

Oh I think your bottlenecking will come from CPU and RAM rather than the Mobo at this point.  But congratulations...you're gonna love it!

It should be great! I'm thinking it will be here around Wednesday. I probably take some pictures of the installation for you guys to check it out, possibly with in game screen shots. Maybe a before and after?

Thanks again Schlup with your help for choosing this one.

I ordered my Graphics card on Sunday with 3 day shipping. I'm hoping that I'll get it tomorrow (Wednesday (which could be a possible snow day!!!)) even though it Estimated delivery is   01/15/2009. I did a Google maps to it's current location, which is at the nearest airport--14Miles away. That would be cool if I could pick it up tomorrow or even today. Can I?

*After reading the shipping info again, it's on its way to the airport from LOUISVILLE, KY, US.
