Wow, haven't been here in a long time. Sorry guys.

I installed the new card and I also got the Orange Box! It's awesome. I had no problems with it at all. The only thing is that the driver for XP makes the GUI slightly lag (the games play fine though). Nvidia's really concentrating on Vista now. I installed the new drivers on my Vista partition and it ran blazing fast! The exact opposite with the GUI, there is no more lag. :P (I guess you can't have one or the other...)

Thanks for the advice Cabe. I took a look at my motherboard. It turns out that I only have 1 PCI x16 card slot. A monster 8800 wouldn't fit in there. Not only is my case physically too small, but I don't have enough connections! I would also have had to upgrade my power supply.

Everything turned out well though. I don't need the power (although it would be nice!) to play the Orange Box and I save a few bucks. I hope the Nvidia updates their XP drivers soon!!
