heh yea might want to tidy the cables up a bit. other then that looks good :)
the 9800GTX is built on the G92 core, which is 65nm everywhere. for cooling, maybe but from the pics ive seen it doesnt look too much like it. and even if it was, i would get a good, $70 cool and save over $100 overall and overclock it to the exact same specs

Even if it is overclocked, then it could still have a large performance difference over the 8800GTS. (Would you disregard the performance difference between an E6300 @ 1.83GHz and an E6800 @ 2.93GHz just because they are clocked at different speeds?)

it just isnt overclocked enough. and the 2 benches i showed had the exact same proc in them, the 8800GTS had a more ram (4gb vs 2gb) but ram doesnt come that much into a factor. the e6300 and e6800 the only difference is a multiplier, which one would pay for because it makes overcocking so much easier. however, you cant really factor a multiplier into gpu overclocking. as for the speed difference, i would probably buy i e6300. thats what most people do that have a budget and know how to overclock.
for the ati thing, i never said anything about ATI im only comparing the 8800GTS to the 9800GTX... the 8800GTS is a great card. you cant take that away. however, the 9800GTX is all but a waste in my eyes...
