[QUOTE="ISuperGamerI"]Most I would pay would be around $200 CND but possibly a bit more depending on how big of an improvement it would be.ISuperGamerI

Get the 8800GT from XFX then.

How much better is it than the Asus 8800 GT?

Chances are they will preform about the same.

If you have the space, you could just run a dual boot. It's pretty easy to set up, even easier than if you had to set one up with Vista already installed.

I personally haven't played AOC yet. Have you tried asking on the AOC forums? Chances are you will get better direction from them.

If you can find one, just get a stock clocked 8800 GT. Here's an EVGA one for $180

This could be anything really. AFAIK, AOC is pretty "chuggy" at the moment. Have you done a defrag recently? Do you have a bunch of processes taking up your CPU?

I'd go with the XFX 8800 GT if you don't mind spending the money.

That looks pretty good. But what about an OS?

Plug it in and try. Chances are your range will drop, but it's not like you need to broadcast to your neighbour's house anyways.

I would personally switch out that 9600GT for a 8800GT, but that is a very nice setup. :)
