I am upgrading my current box until the conroe/965 hit the market and simmer down in price.

I currently have an ATI 7900 pro running, but I am thinking of throwing in an Nvidia 6800.

Question one: How much difference does 256MB vs 512MB video memory make on an A64 3000+, 2GB ram, Nforce 3 board?

Question two: How much difference does ddr2 vs ddr3 make on the above rig?

there are a handful of cards on various vendors (ZZF, Newegg, etc.) for around $140 to $170.

Looking forward to playing Sin Episodes, HL2 episode one, Quake 4 and Need for Speed: Most wanted.

Any advice is appreciated. :)
 
I have never heard of a Radeon 7900

But a 6800 would run those other games just fine.
 
i upgraded from a 9700 pro to a eVGA 6800. Still the current card i use(waiting for dx10 products). You can also softmod the eVGA 6800 to 6800gt(allowing more shaders and pipes).
 
DOH!

I meant 9700 pro.

momentary dislexia.

I would really like to know the difference in performance concerning the amount and type of memory.

Also, how does the 6800 compare to an ATI X1600 Pro?
