I think u can run it, just make sure ur Power supply delivers at least 28A on the 12V rail.


Also, u better have a big case for this one. :lol:

There was an article on THG some time ago explaining how the 8800 GTX is bottlenecked by the CPU. Sorry, don't have a link. Anyway, their conclusion was that an E6600 or E6700 or so can make the 8800 GTX shine but something slower wouldn't. Consider an 8800 GTS...

I heard from my friend that the 8800GTX won't work on some hybrid ASRock motherboard; drivers conflict or something. Whatever, he is picking up an Asus P5N32-E SLI Plus (the nForce 650i north and nForce 590 south) and stuff.

If I were you, I would get a good and cheap power supply just in case.

An amazing deal on this power supply for the money. Should keep you going for quite a while.
