I'm sorta thinking about getting a new graphics card as some of the more powerful ones have hit some pretty low prices lately (sub $150).
It'll either be the 320MB 8800GTS or the 9600GT. I don't really know much about either... just that they'd be a good upgrade over my 850XT (which works just fine mind you- it can run Crysis on medium at 1280x720).

I only have PCI-e, but it's the original one... not the new one (whatever it's called). My power supply should be able to handle it (Corsair 620HX) but it only has the 6 pin power connector for graphics card- not sure what what the 8800 or 9600 cards use. Also, there's only 10-11 inches of room so I don't even know if they'll fit. And then there's the question of bottlenecks...
Specs:
AMD AM2 X2 3800+ (Windsor) 2.0GHz
1GB x2 Ballistix plus x2 Ballistix Tracer (all 4 @ DDR2 800, 4-4-4-15 2T); ~3.5GB usable
ASUS M2N-E (damn crap mobo that doesn't let me OC...)
Any advice for me dudes?
