WOW, I am 100% POSITIVE you will be OVER SATISFIED with your NEW SHINY RIG, you will have to send your Favorite Pirate a few pics
, I am glad you did not go with DDR 3, although it is Faster, its only a marginal step up from DDR 2 800 to 1066 unless you can afford 1800 speed, I also believe you will LOVE your Video card, some other Friends of mine have that card and they Brag about how it outperforms the 8800 GTX at a lower price, N1, and if you had not have bought UT 3 I would have been dissapointed, LOL, not really, but maybe, as for staying with Xp, NP there either as XP is a average of 10% faster in all games/apps over Vista, I know it hurts to see your bank account deplete so quickly, but If you are like me, then it will be worth every cent when you fire that BABY UP, here that 3 GHZ motor Purr and when it hits the 8800 GTS exhaust it will sound like a Ferrari, and when your eyes feast upon the Monitor that says all settings on MAX, then you will be happy......
BTW I also took your advice and bought the Orange Box today, CONGRADS Again my FRIEND!!!
