Saweet and thanks! I have a 500W Antec PS so I think I should be fine with only 1 hard drive. My experience should be similar to yours. I realize my cpu will be a bottleneck but I don't care if the new card can still play the unreal engine games and crysis at decent levels and 25+ FPS. Might...

Hello gang, I currently have an XP2700+ paired with a 6800GS and 1GB of dual channel memory. I would like to try to extend the life of my pc for another 12-24 months and I am wondering if the x1950Pro card would do the trick. Specifically, I would love to see a Raven Shield Vegas benchmark...

Ah...ye ole Install button eh? :) No, I didn't click that although I was tempted to. I don't remember reading that in the directions to unlock the pipes but I may have missed it. THANKS GUYS!!!! As for the drivers, do you know if NVidia will be supporting the 6800GS in future non-beta...
