So a 8800GT is better than the 8800GTS?

... and as for comparing it to my 8600GT i really can't wait :p and i won't mind admitting i've crapped my pants if its really that big of an improvement, lol.

I don't spose you could send me the model number, just so i can compare it to my 8600GT on paper, i can't really find the Asus 8800GT specs anywhere in detail.

There is two 8800GTS's the 96 shader one and the 128 shader. I'm talking about the former which has 320mb vram wheras the 128 shader one has 512. I think this card will clock pretty high since its reference and those were good clockers.

Single slot. It needs a single PCI-E power connecter as well.
