i got the dual slot edition of the 8800GT for $150 during summer, and it doesnt seem like it keeps it as cool, my friend got the XFX one, and the heatsink was smaller, yet we got the same temps.
the 9800GT and 8800GT will perform the same, i think they got the same cores. the only difference is that the 9800GT is DX10.1 and has OpenGL 2.1 IIRC.
So is dual slot bette than single slot?
the 8800GT isnt good for 1680 x 1050 display?
it is. and so is my 8600 GT 256 MB
and btw does this one work with 1680X1050(kinda stupid I know but I might get it so I don't have to buy a new one for years and I need to make sure it works)

But wait. I don't have PCIe 2 slots, just PCIe does that mean the 260 won't work?
