Cooler Master products are sweet! I have a Cooler Master laptop cooler. It's doing pretty well!
Yes your motherboard will support them, be warned thoes these cards are very long, about 3cm longer than the motherboard, they can also block off sata ports awell.
Just had a look at the p5n-e your clear on sata ports as they are a good bit below the cards.
Have a look around and you might be able to pick up a bargin, (scan were selling 9800gtx for £117) and keep an eye out for the new 9800gtx+ which is coming out shortly (an overclocked version with a smaller core) and should sell for around £130-160
thanks for the help!!!:)
dont forget the HD4850, which beats the 9800gtx
go for the ati rather than the nvidia...unless u fancy on going sli later on
my 8800 Gts has 640ram but the 9800gtx has 512 ram is this good or bad.samung 22' T220HD thx:)
I don't think there'll be an impact as the gtx is a monster of a card and 512mb is sufficient for a 22".Quote:
