Hi, I'm a little unsure if my pc can handle one of those new monsters after surfing around TH's review pages. It seems that the CPU has to be pretty new to use the 8800's.

My gaming rig:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 / 4400+ 2.2 GHz
2 X GeForce 7800 GTX / 256MB / PCI-E
2 X Kingston 1024 MB DDR RAM 3200 (Mhz 400)

I really want one of the 8800 GTX cards with the 768 mb of ram but the price is about DKK 5200. 8800 GTS with 640 mb of ram is around DKK 3000.

So would it be a waste of money to buy a 8800GTS/GTX card with this "old" rig?

Cheers
Mark

8800GTS/GTX will perform much better than your current SLI setup.
don't worry about anything, as mpilchfamily said already if you have a good PSU you wont face any problem at all.it wont be waste of cash.
