I know the 8600GT is dx10 compatible, but I don't plan on upgrading my desktop to Vista anytime soon, so maybe a 7600GT would be a better fit. Would anyone recommend either one? It would seem like a small jump from a 6600gt to the 7600gt.

Thanks, I will have to check to see if that will even fit in my case. Does anyone have similar specs like mine and can tell me the kind of card they are using and if they would recommend it?

I know, he has given me advice in the past. But, I checked, it won't fit in my case.
