PARTS PREFERENCES: Whatever the best thing currently is, haven't upgraded in 3 years (For 75 to 110 bucks after rebate or whatever the deal is)
OVERCLOCKINGrobably
SLI OR CROSSFIRE:No, doesn't work on OSx
MONITOR RESOLUTION:1920x1200
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:Would love to have a cool running, VERY QUIET fan, NO Passive cooling.
The current temps for CPU and GPU with only stock fan are
CPU: ~98 to 100 degrees idle with system uptime of 4 days
GPU: 107 degrees solid, don't know what it is under load.
I am dual booting Windows 7 and Lion, but all graphics cards should work. EXCEPT ZOTAC!
A card I have been looking at is the XFX HD-667X-ZAF3 Radeon HD 6670 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card

Is this a good card?
I just don't know how loud it is, or how the 6770 preforms.
I have a Mid tower, can fit any size of card.
Thanks for reading this far.
