Most Favorable Review

Im an Nvidia fanboy.

ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB - up to 1GB with TurboCache GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ZT-96SES3P-FDL
ZOTAC GeForce 9600 GSO 512MB - up to 1GB with TurboCache GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card ZT-96SES3P-FDL

Pros: This card performs better than the ATI Radeon 3870 card that I had before. This card has a much higher Shader Clock, and potential for overclocking, and fortunately this card doesn't run as hot as the 3870. This card also has a built in physx GPU unlike the 3870.

Cons: It has a slightly lower Main GPU clock than the 3870, and the single slot design makes me nervous, with the dual slot design that my 3870 had there was alot more air flow.

Overall Review: The 3870 was only a 512 card, and this card has 1 Gig with Turbo Cache.

Great Buy

ASUS P5N-E SLI LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: This board is a low cost solution to the SLI world. Supports both Pata/ide, and SATA. and supports a decent amount of ram.

Cons: There are no real cons, this board just lacks some features that, while they would be nice to have, are not necessary.

Overall Review: Don't buy if you are not looking for a gaming board.
