Windows XP supports up 4GB of ram the if you have the extra money get an 8800gt it's much better spec'd.

P.S if you shop at newegg can you please use my link below

Do you mean the 8800GTX card? All the 8800GT I see on newegg are actually cheaper than 8800GTS's. Assuming I'm looking at the correct card the most expensive GT is this one: Newegg.com - PNY VCG86512GXPB-OC GeForce 8600GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail
(About $150)

Where as a GTS can cost anywhere from $200-$400 for example:
Newegg.com - BFG Tech BFGR88640GTSOCE GeForce 8800GTS 640MB 320-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Retail

Do you have a link to the card you suggest? As I said I can afford a GTX (About $500) But if it's not much of an improvement over the $150 8800GT card then I would rather not bother.

Not the 8600GT the 8800GT.Heres a link.Any of those is an 8800GT.Heres a chart against the 8800GTS.

More benchmarks.If you could find an SLI board which i couldnt find and got 2 8800GT and SLI them it would be around 50%faster than the GTX and about 30 dollars more.

I meant the GT model because of the price but if budget is no issue I would get the GTX model it's a very nice card

Opps can't believe I didn't notice I was looking at the 8600GT's.

I'll ask if the guy can find a motherboard that would work and has SLI. Thanks for all the help so far.

So last question. Do you think I should get the two GT's (Or even one) or a GTX and SLI it later when it has become cheaper and is needed?

Well it depends on if you want a faster pc than a GTX now with about the same cost but 50% faster OR a bit slower of a pc but you can get about 50%faster than the 2 8800GT.

Two GT's and upgrade later it will perform very well with 2 GT's your making me jealous
