Crappio, Yes, a 670watt power supply is more then plenty for that card and if I'm assuming correctly on the specs that are in the rest of your pc since their based around that 8600GTS, over all it will more then suffice for your total pc load on the power supply. I haven't really heard much on Novatechs hardware. If I may suggest, Id say getting a name brand like Cooler Master or Antec for a power supply. And if the prices are too much more then what your willing to spend on that Novatech, a say, 550watt power supply would work great as well. tonala, Thanks for the kind words.

Eh. You cant compare consoles to pc's. Im not even going to go into that. Too much of a headache. coeboznia, Id get a 450watt, I am running a 450 watt with my 7800GT and my system specs are less then yours and require less. The 7800GT suggests a 450 watt anyways. tonala, Get at least a 450 watt power supply for that 2600XT because they overclock better and just plain run better on a bigger power supply. And no, you cant run DX10 games on Microsoft XP, because XP only supports up to DX9.0c. Not DX10

jogunther, Ha ha, yeah. If they want to boot me they can, they cant stop me from coming back though. ; ) And yeah I understand too about the money issue. I have a old BFG 7800GT. It works for me. I'm not in the enthusiast area of gaming where I have to have the best. Its not the hardware that makes the gamer, its the skill, just like anything else.

bikemba, I never meant to insult you. If it came off that way to you, then I am regretfully sorry. It was just a plain statement, now whether you knew or did not know doesn't matter. There are more people then us knowledgeable folks that surf this site. Everything I say here is not directed towards one sole person, but to everyone and is meant to help everyone. And as I recall I have stated no sarcasm in any of my posts. I am known for my cynicism and sarcasm and when it happens you will know.

bikemba, I think basically what hes saying is that if you go any higher with newer hardware your going to severely bottleneck your system. Yeah, your running a 7600GS, and you could probably stand to get a 7900 series card to get a bit more out of your processor, but anything more then that will be a severe waste, because really the only thing that is being made newer for old AGP motherboards is video cards. The processor chip sets are dead on those motherboards. Soon after I bought my 939 motherboard with PCI express AMD phased it out for their AM2 and soon their AM3. The best thing I can get is a FX-60 which will bottleneck a 8800GTX to an extent. I think thats what hes saying and is what Ive been saying. AGP is dead. End of story. Once you get the best processor for said motherboard and a 7 series or x1950 ATI card, thats about all your going to get out of the system without bottlenecking it and wasting a hell of a lot of money.

trigger501, a lot of these people plan on upgrading a lot. Or, they see the DX10.1 and go oh S**t and want to wait, or complain about this and that. It doesn't take much to do some research. You'll save loads and loads of money in the long run. I mean, its a shame that there are such side businesses like the Geek Squad for Best Buy, because people spend loads of money to get their computers "configured" when really you can spend 10 minutes on Google and find everything you need. I guess thats why there are a few kind hearts like myself that would rather help people for free then take 200 bucks from them for 5 minutes of advice. If you think I'm being harsh, I'm sorry, but its seems its the only way to get this crap in your dense heads without blowing chunks of your probably hard earned cash...

bikemba, AGP is dead. The best CPU or around it for AGP type motherboards is the FX-60 and judging by performance of these newer cards the CPU and ram for AGP motherboards will bottleneck your high end hardware, thus making it useless. I have a cheap Athlon 64 3200+ set at the normal 2.0ghz clock speed and if I got a new DX10 card, it would really, really, really bottleneck because of the lower system specs. I mean, my parts are 2 years old, but they came out 4-5 or more years ago... kingliono, I have never heard anyone complain about power usage bro, so I wouldnt worry about that... Even if there was a complaint, you'll know what your getting into when you get in this extreme range of hardware.

travis122_basic, Bro, its not a matter of the industry making SLI or Crossfire, because you need it, its mainly for the enthusiasts, like I previously said, there is a lot of people out there that will just buy the latest and greatest thing whenever it comes out. Its like OCD and they want the bragging right. Really SLI and Crossfire are a waste of money, because every new season the next video card is twice as fast as the previous card even in SLI or Crossfire. So to answer your statement, or question, its not needed, its just a good marketing scheme. If one was to do their simple research they'd know that, because its not very hard to figure out. It would be like me, I have a love for mustangs, I am in love with the S351 R Code Saleen. It pulls almost 600 rear wheel horsepower. But a Farrari is more expensive and can beat the Saleen by a bit. Although both cars are fast, the Saleen is up to 40,000 if your lucky enough to find one, because they stopped making the S351 model in 2000 and it is the fastest production mustang ever no matter what they say about the GT500. in 1995 it was the fastest production car ever if that tells you something, but basically what I'm saying is that both cars are fast but one is about 40,000 and the other is in the 500,000 to 1,000,000 and higher range. Same things goes for PC hardware. Both go fast, but you don't really need the BEST thing because there is little benefit in it later on. Sorry for the tangent, but some of you are kind of dense on the hardware side and keep making the same statements, so I figured Id relate it to cars if any of you no anything about them. Doesnt take much to figure things out. : )

MxAxSxH, I think its overall in terms of usage for the 8800 GTS and the 2900XT. The 2900 series cards were made solely to compete with the midrange cards, they said it them selves. Nothing more, nothing less. Captain Dingo, There are people who buy the latest and greatest every time it comes out. Its like a bad case of OCD. No matter what they will have the best. And plus people just want to see what their hardware is capable of. So really it isn't meant to be snobbish. At least I wouldn't take it that way.

roalb11, what kind of a statement is that? No one needs a 8 series card at all to play current games. Even though it would look like crap, I could still run Crysis on my 7800GT and its not even out yet, so no, if you don't get a 8800 series card you are not finished. Plus, Id rather wait for a kick butt 9 series card then blow a chunk of change on these cards seeing as they will be out dated within the next few months.
