tnx to rivatuner 15.8 i can monitor my card temps
on idle 55C on cs source stress test i stayed 62-65C @560/1.02 u think its safe to go higher ^^ or should i get a zalman vga heatsink and then push

due to recent problems with family i wont be buying pc parts for another 2 1/2 months
would it make any difference on my comp if i added corsair value or ocz premier value select 1 gig dual channel
with my cpu oced @ 3.0ghz ( cpu runs at 35-37C on high load ) and the card with new heatsink
is it worth it or no

video card is : evga 6600GT AGP

There should be a rule on these forums to search before you post.

A quick search would tell you, those temps. are fine for a gpu.

Well... The temps aren't a problem, but fitting a Zalman or NV Silencer is always better... Your overclock may benefit a little from it too...

A gigabyte of dual channel is of course better than 512MB of single channel... The Corsairs or the OCZs will both do just fine for that, get the ones that are the cheapest... The difference won't be the dual channel (although it has importance too), but rather the extra 512MB...

Those temps are normal, what you need to do is a simple search on the forums before posting this. You could also include that it's your GPU in your title.

Now that I have played the role of Forum Police....I will go eat some breakfast.
