If you read my post I was trying to help you from doing what you just said. (Waste money). Look none of us knew you were a computer specialist or we wouldn't have responded. You wanted our help(responses) well here they are If you don't like my response then why buy a top of the line computer with a crappy graphics card? You know what you did and you expect us to respond with a midrange card?
The card you just bought will be out-of-date in six months. Haha. You suckerd yourself into a sub-par card in order to prove others wrong. I laugh at the thought of you going out and buying a graphics card in less than one year because you were to hard-headed to buy a nice card that complements your system. I disn't mean to demean you but you sount like you are to self confident in your pics.

Anyways, good luck with that new card and tell all of us how it is doing in a year.

How can anyone with even half a brain, desribe the 6800GT graphics card as (crappy)?
It would be interesting to see what card is being used by that individual.
What games/applications do you think the 6800GT is going to struggle with?
In a six months when its out of date (it already is) then a second card can be bought at a knocked down price and set up in Sli mode (instant performance boost!)
If a top of the range 7800 512 card was bought, it would still be out of date in 6 months, so will the CPU, motherboard, memory (thats computing).
It sounds as though some people are more interested in Techno Narcissism and showing off than being realistic about what is required for the job.
Any card bought above the 6800GT could only be justified for serious gaming or other intensive GPU applications, none where listed in the original request for help.
I've already set several systems up using 6800's and 7800's, so know what the limitations are, maybe some people could try and make recommendations on experience, rather than than just passing on what they've read in magazines etc...

I still vote that twin-GPU systems (wel particularly SLi) are poor value for money since you only get a minor performance boost in most games...
