I have a 2 1/2 yrs old evga 8800gts 640mb is it worth it to change it to this? http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4369731&CatId=3775Was thinking of getting another 8800gts 640 for SLI but they don't seem to sell the 640mb model anymore.

My 8800gts still works fine but thought if its much better was due for an upgrade. ALso have the option of waiting awhile till the gtx 275 are cheaper.

You do know that new ATI cards launch in a matter of hours, right? And your card is still decent enough, I'd hang onto it for a while longer.
