A question to those who know
Just putting this out there my Nivida card is 8800 GTS with 320 vidio memory, I have plenty of voltage and 32 amps on my rail, what do you think the short falls are with this card.

The 320 Mb and 640 Mb 8800 GTS's run a different processor then the 512 8800 GTS.  IIRC they have fewer pixel pipelines and lower GPU and memory clock rates than the GTS or the 9xxx series which, for the most part, also use the G92 chipset.  Beyond that 320 Mb is at the low end of the memory spectrum.
I edit a lot of my posts.  Get used to it.

If you try to stuff a larger PSU into a smaller case or a custom one like some Dells or HPs, consider one with modular cables.  That way you can save some space and increase cooling airflow by only using the cables you really need.
Everyone I know, goes away, in the end.

Next thing to consider: Does your computer case have room to hold those cards? Those #800/#900 cards from NVIDIA take up A LOT of room. Take a picture of the case open and I'm sure we can tell you.
heres the pics of my case,looks to me to be plenty of room for a video card even if its bigger than mine,also a pic of my card.
what i am not sure of is the connector,being 20+4 or what,i dont know how to tell.
