Last question:

There is these 3 card I've been looking at :

NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB 16X PCI Express


First, whats the diffence between the both 8800, and also, since the 8600 have 2 times more memory than the 8800, does it have about the same potential or It's totally different?


O and also, i I get a 8800, should I wait for the 9800 to be released or it won't change the price of the 8800 that much?



That should be all for tonight Wink


Edit: That wasnt all D=

I just seen that the 9600 is actually out, and its not so expensive. Should i get this instead of the 8800gt?

One last thing(for real this time) : With the e6600 cpu + 9600+ 2gb of ram, would i be able to run game such as bioshock, cod4 and crysis?

(Quad-Core)Intel® Core™ 2 Quad Q6600 @ 2.4GHz 1066FSB 8MB L2 Cache 64-bit

and overclock it to 2.6 max if you don't want your pc to heat up at all!... make sure you read alot about oc'ing before you do anything!

edit:


NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT 1GB 16X PCI Express (2x = good)

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT 512MB 16X PCI Express (dont suggest this)

NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS 512MB 16X PCI Express (1x = good)

But overall i would say wait a couple of weeks cause 9800 just came out and prices are decreasing like mad!!! my pc was going to cost 2.5k but recently its now 1.4k

8800GT/8800GTS has more than 2x the performance of the 8600GT. Video RAM isn't the only thing that matters these days. 9600GT is a good card, it is cheaper than the 8800GT but has similar performance to it.

All of the graphics cards (except for the 8600GT) will be able to run Crysis on high at 1280 x 1024 with a decent frame rate. Your setup should do fine.

So, should i get the 8800gt or the 9600, since the 8800gts is kinda expensive?

8800GT > 9600GT

But, overall the 9600GT will be better overall once the price drops another $10.

Out of those, go with the Kentsfield.
A better option would be the new Wolfdale processors, they come factory clocked at 3.0GhZ and they can EASILY be clocked to 3.9+ on air cooling alone.


But... go with the Q6600.
