Need new card/s. Had trouble with my present 8600gt x 2. Fans seized from overheating; replacement fans seem to be almost as much as a new 8600 card, so i think get a new card.

I see what everyone says is wonderful, but just wanted some verification on what is suitable for me/my system.

I'll just ramble some spec here, and maybe someone would be able to tell me if my ideas are not compatible.

ASUS M2N-E SLI motherboard
AMD Athlon x 2 5600+
1GB DDR2-667 RAM

So, heard the 9800gtx + SLI was a good one. Pricey though. Much point in having 2? Must i have 2, as i had 2 8600s and also my motherboard says SLI (?)

Or maybe something else would do? Suggestions welcome.

need direction...

No need for 2.. just cos it says sli you dont need sli..

1 9800 should do the trick.. will most if not all fps that have been released.

I have quad SLi via 2x 9800GX2s

Just waiting for my board to be repaired.....

Have you checked to see if your card is still in warranty? Tried sourcing the fans yourself?

I think i might've voided the warranty by taking the fan out and oiling it. Though I don't remember getting an nvidia warranty note. hmmm.
