hello
i have an evga 8800GS i bought some months ago when prices were higher (paid 139.99 retail) and while i am happy with the card....better is better i figure.
so since i paid a higher price then they're going for now i can now "step up" to this for $58, shipped:

i'm happy with my card, suits my needs. but i get concerned with the lower memory and 192bit interface when it comes to upcoming games. and even Crysis could use a bit more performance.
so, do you think this is a good "step up" opportunity, or should i save my money and put it toward an even better upgrade come years end?
what will this card do for my gaming at 1440X900 that my little GS doesn't? and for $60 additional dollars
also the HUGE cooler will be blowing close all over my sound card. doesn't sound like a good idea but idk what do you think? i figure so long as they aren't touching....heh.
