BFG 6800 GT
Sorry if this has been asked 100 times.... I want to updgrade my video to a BFG 6800 GT. I have a Dim4600 2.66/533.
Will my Mobo handle this? I don't want to wait and/or shop needlessly if my board is limited to a lesser card. If it's not able to handle this what would you recommend.
Thanks!

Greatone, you can do just as good a job. Pushing the on button the first time is anticipation at its best!!! Forums like amdmb can help you select mobo's and ram combinations and the best performance/price ratio etc. They even have mobo specific forums etc. The MSI board seems to be the best for the 64's right now, so you could go one better than I did!!!! By the way, this Stacker case is quiet even with eight fan's running (300mm mobo fan running at medium speed). The OCZ PS is a quiet unit too!!
Places like Monarch will test the mobo, ram and CPU to make sure they work and give you a 1 year warranty (costs slightly more). If you go that route you can insure it will boot unless something happens in shipping.
