Im seriously wondering why so much of this gtx/ultra stuff is coming up lately...

I suggest to reinstall vista AGAIN and go to w/e the newest WHQL drivers are. Your resolution would be 1366x768 or abouts, right?

I cant even begin to imagine how much your CPU must bottleneck your cards lol.

Waiting for phenom?

I suggest uninstalling Vista and installing Windows XP with Service Pack 2. You don't have to do that but Vista is crap until they release the SP for it. Well I would say reinstall Graphics drivers and make sure your specs keep up with your card.
