you should go for 2 9800GTX or a "GTX 280" (this ones came out yersterday and are tha bomb) a GTX 280 is better than two 9800GTX and ever better than 2 8800GTS512...
Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! i know its more expensive but its the best you can get right now... no need to go for SLi, as i said a GTX 280 or even a 9800GX2 is faster than two 8800 GTS 512 |

You failed on the selection of a few components. Should have gotten a Quad Core, as for the motherboard, Asus my choise too, but that X38 chipset rocks, P5E series are better. Like georged said, the new 9800 gpu is a better choice.
EDIT: You said xp pro? Need to get XP x64 if you want to benefict those 4Gb of RAM, the 32 bit versions of windows only recognise 3Gb o RAM. Last edited by JoMacHo; 06-16-2008 at 11:54 PM. |

When you'll see how the 200 series perform you'll be disappointed... just google for comparisons between the 8800 GTS 512 vs 9800 GTX and you'll see the 9 series outperform those cards in every single test... |
