Sweet, if you wouldn't mind, let me know how that works out for you. I've been riding the fence about getting that very card for a while now.

Specs: Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI,
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ w/ZeroTherm BTF90,
4GB G.Skill PI Series DDR2-800,
Sapphire HD4870 512MB,
PC P&C 750 Quad, in a CoolerMaster HAF932

They always put that on the boxes, even in newest cards..

Looks nice!

Nice. Looking at your specs however, I would have said that a RAM upgrade would have been more important. 256mb is barely enough to run Windows!

Simonmd has a good point, I'd also look at the power requirements for the card. A 250w psu may not be enough.

Specs: Asus Crosshair nForce 590 SLI,
AMD Athlon X2 6400+ w/ZeroTherm BTF90,
