    hi, I was thinking of upgrading from my geforce 4, here is a link for the cards
    6800-http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=305565&cks=PRL
    7800-http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=311505&cks=PRL

    I was wondering which is better, was confused with the price and was also wondering about overclocking capabilities.

    I'm unsure about the various kinds of GC makers such as sapphire, gainward, gigabyte, msi, powercolor, xfx etc. Do they not make the same cards??
    Also I remember reading somewhere about a crazy overclock with an nvidia card, could someone tell me about this...
    Thanks in advance.

    What do ye think about:
    AMD Athlon 64 3700+ 2.2GHz Socket 939, 1MB, BOXED w/fan
    Corsair TWINX1024-3200XL DDR-DIMM 1024MB Kit w/two matched CMX512-3200XL DIMMs
    Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe, nForce4 SLI, Socket -939,S-ATA,Dual-GbLAN,Firewire,PCI-Ex16
    Maxtor DiamondMax 10 250GB SATA 16MB 7200RPM NCQ
    Gainward GeForce 7800GT 256MB GDDR3 PCI-Express,"U/3400PCX XP ViVo Golden S"
    Samsung 19" LCD Syncmaster 913N TCO03 Monitor, Silver, 8ms

    The leadtek winfast cards are pretty good same goes for XfX,BFG .....these cards are all pretty much the same the only difference might be in the cooling solutions, so pretty much any respected manufacture and you won't go wrong ...
    just looked at your specs your not planning to go SLi are you [​IMG]
