What Graphics card would fit ???

Hi

I want to buy a good graphics card for my rig, but I don't want to make silly boo-boo in buying one, then finding out it's too big. Look at the pics & tell me what would fit.

thanks

As far as I have heard the 8600's don't pack much punch then a X1950XT on DX9 with high reslutions, im sure I saw a benchmark somewhere on a review site. I play games on a Philips 19" CRT. Even if I got a Mid Stream 8600 it would be a waste of money even it is dx10 compatible.

I Was currently using Vista x64, but gone back to xp - for gaming & have no plans yet to go back to Vista until games & drivers are better supported, regardless of it having dx10.

Apart from crysis I've not heard of any other games coming out on DX10, even thats been delayed.

It's a toss up between a high end cheapest 8800 320mb card or a X1950XT 256/512MB ???????

will the dx10 will be released for xp or would I have to upgrade to Vista to play DX10 Games ??????????
