    Which 8800GTS 640MB to buy?

    The thing is that this table scares me as hell. My board has problems with all the USB's (I sent it but ePOX didn't "found nothing".) So that means that if I buy the 8800GTS I can play w/out USB's controllers/joysticks and wait until the new 8900's are released to: a) Send the MOBO to...
