BFG 7800GT upgrade?

[dokko]

Hi, quick question(s):

What is my natural progression with my current card?

Is it straight to 8800 or can i go 8600 (or will that be a slower x10 ready card)?

Also which are on top ATI or Nvidia?

Ta.

Ok, cheers lads, to sum up your questions:

I'm upgrading my system to: (22/07)

Q6600
Geil Ultra DDR2 2GB PC6400
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R

I've got a Samsung 226BW @ 1680 x 1050 (if possible)

The BFG 7800GT isn't struggling at all, its just i thought i might as well all jump at once.

Another problem is i'm selling more current core (64 3700, mobo 2GB GeiL) to a friend, but he's also need a GFX card, so i either sell him this one and get a new one, or buy him a similar card off MM and wait a while until x10 becomes more common.

Also am on XP, and i don't see much of an option to jump to Vista in the near future.
