you shouldnt need to buy any fans, you may notice a difference in the quality when watching movies if you use the DVI input on your monitor but the only real way to tell would be to compare the two for yourself, try playing a movie using the RGB lead then try the same with the DVI cable to see if you notice any difference.
if you are concerened that the card may overheat then buy some case fans to put your mind at rest but i seriously doubt youll need to.

Hey Sypher did you read that post in the "Best Nvidea Card" thread?
Also i ran into a couple problems last night. First, My 45 dollar 20 foot monster svideo cable broke. The two pins broke off when i was trying to put the one end in the computer. I geuss i have to be carefull with those? are these known issues with svideo? should i just keep it plugged into both ends instead of unplugging then plugging it back in all the time?
Also I don?t know if this has to do with my 70 dollar graphics card or not but I have the epsxe playstation1 emulator and I have the crash bandicoot .iso and the grand theft auto vice city and part 3 .iso. Now the crash bandicoot plays fine but that is a playstation1 game. For Grand theft auto, When I go to File-Loadiso all that happens is I get a black screen and it doesn?t load. I looked in a bunch of forums and some people said that grand theft auto is only compatible with playstation 2 emulators and high end graphics cards. Do you know if this has to do with anything with my graphics card or if vice city and part 3 only work for playstation 2 emulators, if not do you know how I could play this game?
Appreciate the expertise and help Sypher,
Thanks

Well a little update here.
I decided to not only play emulator games like nes and sega but have been having alot of fun playing pc games including vice city for the pc, sims and a bunch of others.
Last week i bought that 77 dollar evga 256 MB 6600le graphics card one of the people in this thread recommended to me. But that was when i told him i was only gonna be watching movies and playing ninetendo games.
Since i am going to be playing these high end 3d games, should i be upgrading my card?
If so, any suggestions?

that card is pretty good, its midrange so it will play anything at a decent level of quality, you only need to upgrade if your interested in playing games at their highest quality, but youd also need to get more system memory aswell as if iremeber right you only have 512 meg, really you need at least 1 gig for gaming

both those cards are exactly the same... plus the one you have isnt much different to either of those...
compare them yourself... the areas circled in red are what you looking for
the higher those numbers the better the card

SLI is something you cant have on your motherboard...
Using a motherboard with 2 PCIEx16 slots you can get 2 graphics cards and run them as 1 therfore doubling the performance... using this you can get some amazing graphical results.
but like i say your motherboard doesnt support it... if your looking for a new graphics card just keep looking around and stick to nvidia since you have an nvidia chipset... just compare them like i told you... the more memory and core MHz the better the card is
if you want some spectacular graphics have a look at the 7 series graphics cards
