Also, I have a micro-ATX case, and I hear the 8800 is big, it looks like it would fit, but I could be wrong, What do you think?

Just ordered it, while cringing as my bank account gets smaller  , but i am sure it will be worth it. Now, I am probally going to wait a month or 2 to get the 8800, maybe christmas

btw welcome to TMN. enjoy your stay man. 

idk what your talking about, but i think you mean socket types.... yeah get a LGA 775 socket type...i may be wrong but i think thats what all core 2 duos are...

Thanks,

What I mean is, theres Conroe and Allendale

Does it matter which core I get?

Hi,

I currently have an 8600GT video card and wanted to upgrade to the 8800GTS. However my friend thinks that, because I have a pre-built compaq computer (with a few upgrades) that I will not see much performance increase. Anyone know if this is true? I dont want to end up wasting my money on the 8800.

thanks
