For some reason I had a dream that I bought a Wii...

If you have alot of friends that come over to your house alot, then buy a Wii, its tons of fun..

If your not playing it with friends... its kinda stupid..

So if you just like playing games with yourself... get the 8800.. I'm assuming 2x 320Mb 8800's would outperform 1 640mb one.

Would that processor not bottleneck that card?

If that processor bottlenecks that card it would be nigh on impossible to get one that didn't...

It is.. have you tried overclocking it? Many reach 3.0GHz+ with ease, stock cooling. And get an 8800GTS 640 over two 320's. With SLi 320's you still only get 320mb, not to mention you need more power, get more heat, and driver support isn't that great right now for SLi 8800's.

I just heard that an e6400 was just a processor that you wanted for work.

IMO i think all the C2D processors are good for gaming.

Where ever you heard this don't listen again.

To the OP what sort of monitor/resolutions will you be gaming at? Apparently the only real benefit of the 640mb version is when playing at higher resolutions, at lower res the difference between the 320 and the 640 is slight.

From what I have read the 320mb should be alright at that res, but if you have the cash it may well be worth getting the 640mb.

I recommend that you wait for when Ati comes with their new card. Should be better!

i heard they were really expensive. and also i like Nvidia. i would wait till the ati cards were out just to hope the nvid prices  go down.

Perhaps, but I heard that they outperform and believe me that Ati is a really good company. I have one of their cards and it totally owns its "equal" rival at Nvidia.
