    Ick...a P4...

    Going by the high end graphics of that era (GeForce 7800GTX/7900GTX), I'd say the best you can do with that bottleneck is a GeForce 9600GT or a GeForce 9800GT (which are similar in price and performance, though the latter is more powerful). After that, you are really maxing out on the CPU. I wouldn't recommend Crysis with it, as I have the AMD equivalent to that CPU, and it's on the bare minimum requirements for the game.

    Oh ok, I just sold the MoBo for the pentium 4 anyways.

    My dads friend just recently opened up a computer shop and once it's open I can get anything for free. I hope he has good things.

    I'll bet that you won't get anything except shitty cheap stuff for free. It costs money to run a business, and if your dads friend is giving shit away for free he's a horrible businessman.

    I'm thinking of getting this. My computer recently dropped dead, and the suspect is the PSU. The old one was 750W running a Q6600, 3 HDDs,, 2 sticks ram, 1 dvd burner, many many fans, 8800GTX.

    Anything over 600 watts would be more then enough for that.

    Is there any difference between the GTS 250 and 9800 GTX+? I've noticed the GTS 250 is priced higher than most of the 9800 GTX+, even the the 512 MB models.

    55nm die-shrink, 1GB DDR3 is the standard for it (though there are 512MB models, 1GB is the official standard), and that's about it. It's also shorter...and consumes less power. Performance is just ever so slightly better, but yes, it is pretty much the same card.

    Also uses much less power! Only 1 pci/e power input instead of two on the original 9800GTX+!
