| Re: Twinx Get the 8800gts, you'll see a lot more on the performance side than going to 2 gigs of ram....

| Re: Twinx With current games you may need both. I'm not trying to be a salesman but, if you try to crank the eye candy up with that 8800, you WILL need more than 1gb of RAM with certain games. BF2 was a very early example of this and more recent games will become more demanding than BF2 for sure.

| Re: Twinx Between the 2, I would definitely upgrade the card first. Eventually gamers are going to want DX-10 capability. But, Zapionics is correct, do 1, then the other. The cumulative effect of a new card AND 2gb will be very noticeable with some games.
