If you can get about $40 more, I'd get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814125079
$170 8800GTS 512 (just make sure your power supply can handle it)

If you are spending that much, might as well look at an ATI 4850. Supposed to way better than the 8800gt, and it is about the same price as that gts.

8800gtx is found cheap is best under 200

7698 ram and faster interface is good for high resolution

new i would go for a double slot cooler - tough call - as ih8u says the gts has the double slot cooler

Depends, if you are folding, go 8800GT SLi ~$220

If you are gaming try the HD 4850... ~$170

Also depends on your budget...

i would go with HD 4850.
IF you are stuck with nvidia, i think 8800GT should be better.
9600GT? http://en.expreview.com/2008/02/23 [...] w/?page=17

9600GT is slower than 8800GT but the price difference is small
