I am planning a "moderate" new system with 945P-S3 and a E6300.
Crazy thoughts about 8800GTS come to mind way too often, but putting the narcissistic side on a leash, I think to myself:
"Why spending so much on a video card if good portion of it wont deliver the performance due to a slower platform and processor?"
I don't want to brag neither want to spend "stupid money" just a graphics card that will deliver its full performance with a Core2 DUO E6300 + 945P-S3 (I haven't decided about the memory yet)
I am more inclined to Nvidia since I do CAD/3D stuff as a hobby and I believe that in general the CAD/CAM/3D modeling programs work better with Nvidia drivers.
I have little to none experience with OCing but I am willing to try it out.
Thank you.
Konstantin.
