Hello all today im searching around the web and retail stores near me to find a new Video card i was looking at this

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=26924&vpn=BFGR88512GTOCEC&manufacture=BFG Technologies

and
http://www.summitdirect.com/summit/showProductDetail_en.jsp

The new 8800gt are all sold out on that website and i was thinking of getting the 8800gts card

My specs
Intel C2D E4300 2.4ghz (OC'ed)
Asrock Motherboard - http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=4CoreDual-VSTA&s=n
the slots on the mobo consist of 1 AGP slot and 1 PCI-E x4 slot , but with the 8800 gts i dont know if i need 2 PCI-E slots to put it in
a Samsung Syncmaster 226 BW 22" LCD screen that supports a native of 1680x1050

Right now my graphics card is a Radeon x1600 pro 512mb AGP

PSU is a 450w Heavy Duty 20 pin ATX and 4pin 12v power connector

Update: I went to Asrock site and looked at the PCI-E support lists for my mobo and it lists the NVIDIA GeForce 8800GTS MSI NX8800GTS/320M
http://www.asrock.com/mb/vga.asp?Model=4CoreDual-VSTA&s=n

So im guessing by that i can use this graphics card from summitdirect http://www.summitdirect.com/summit/showProductDetail_en.jsp
 
Don't get a GTS just because the GT is sold out. Wait for the GT to come back in stock. It's cheaper and better... patience will pay off, trust me.
