would upgrading from a 8600 gt to a 8800 gts (320 mb) be a good upgrade? or should i save up more for a 8800 gt?

Don't get the 8800gts 320mb, simply because you can get a 9600gt for about the same price with better performance. Depending on the rest of your system, it would prolly be best to save a little more for the 8800gt. Either way though, should be a good increase in performance from your 8600gt.

Definitely go for the 8800gt. You can get one for less than $200 and it is still a beast compared to everything out there except the 9800GX2.

Go with the 8800gts 512mb alot better card and will blow both the 9600gt and the 320mb gts away.

im in the same boat....but i just got my 8600gt so ill probably wait untill the new gt200 chips are out and get a 9900 series card.

but to answer your question dont get the gts 320mb. get either 8800gt or 8800gts (512)
