ya well id of course wait for the reviews and benchmarks but im jw if the new GTS will outperform the GT. if it does i will definetly use my 90 step upgrade lol

does anyone have any idea or esimate on how much they should be costing?

hey guys right now i currently have windows XP home edition SP2 and since i am reformatting (upgrading all parts) im jw if it would be a good idea to dual boot XP and a version of Vista?

now i havent bought vista but my friend has the disc and i was jw if vista is only a one time use disc or if it can be installed on a certain amount of computers? jw since if it is, i could dual boot with both.

i just bought all these parts on saturday currently waiting for them in the mail going to be setting them up later this week. tell me what you guys think. its my upgrade from my two year old comp lol

-EVGA 8800GT 512mb GPU

-ASUS P5E X38 LGA 775 Intel mobo

-Crucial Ballistix Tracer 2gb (2x1gb) PC8500 1066MHz w/ cheap $20 RAM fan since i hear these things can run hot

-Intel quad-core Q6600 2.4GHz CPU w/ Zalman 9500 fan

-OCZ GameXStream 700W PSU

-Thermaltake Kandalf full tower ATX case

-320gb (2x160gb) of Seagate HD space

-19" AGNeovo monitor

itll be running on windows XP home SP2 (i know not the best but im waiting to upgrade to vista once all bugs are fixed)

all of this (minus the case, HD's, and monitor since i already owned them from previous setup) cost me about $1100 to make minus shipping and tax and what not

cant wait to set it up lol tell me what you guys think

i have holes in the top its a thermaltake kandalf case

thats the best pic i could find with the holes on the top unfortunately but they are plenty plus im going to be adding a fan where those holes are blowing outwards, that is if my gfs brother gives it to me lol, to get some airflow upwards as well

hey guys just ordered all my new computer parts off of newegg today waiting for them to get here later this week. this is my new PC after upgrades:

-Thermaltake Kandalf full tower ATX case
