Term, since you've got a 550W power supply, you could save up some more clams and go for something like a 9800GTX, or possibly even a GTX 260. I only recommend ATi if you are building a gaming rig for someone else.
My Wallet Says No.
You get what you paid for when you go ATi. Just because it's inexpensive and performs well on benchmarks doesn't mean the card will last. If you don't want to cut corners or break the bank, there's plenty of tasty new 8800GT's available in the ballpark of $100-$150 (US).

That would have been SICK to get that card for 80, anywhere up to 110 is still reasonable for a 3870X2. Better luck next time.

It says "System Requirements: Windows Vista". It should work with XP right?
Thinking about getting a new CPU aswell,

It will work fine in XP with one "card". Vista is required to run 2 3870X2s in CFX.

My card arrived today,
It was well packaged, He must have used a whole roll of duct tape, took me ages to get it all off!
The card works and I have had no problems with it Quote:Posting related image due to my inability to formulate an intelligent response. BlooDz wrote:i cant type good im stupid
