Thanks ominub!

I'll keep that one in mind.

I've had more problems with ATi in the past than I care to think about and NVIDIA has been the one saving grace on the heap I have now, so I'm gonna stick with them.

Also that 5600 card was running the NV35 and no the NV30 chip, correct?

I don't want the NV30 "Dustbuster" I want the NV35 which is an all around better card, but that looks like it might be an NV35. Gotta do more research on it though.

Oh as far as the noise goes, my Speakers will take care of the probelm by Pumping out 6.1 Channels worth of Sound, the "Dustbuster" won't even factor into this equation.

As far as the NVIDIA Cheating on 3DMark I read about that too, even though it was removed (It wasn't a "cheat" per se, it was a program that was designed to "Optimize" the card with whatever it was running, it screwed up benchmarking programs though so NVidia removed it at the risk of being dissed by former fans, however it was what allowed for several other prgrams to optimize themselevs for the Nvidia chipset as well) and even with the "Correct" scores, Nivida still did better than ATi in the end, and ATi also had a "Cheat" in their cards that had to be removed, however when I found out that the NVidia cards are easier to update as far as drivers go than, say ATi, I'd take Nvida and I've had greater results with my GeForce 3, so I figure that I'll get an NV35 Chipset of some sort, now I just gotta get the guy who's supposed to be fining my MoBo to tell me which one to buy!

Thanks for you help guys, if anyone finds anymore cards from NVidia that look good, send a link this way, price on the one that was shown before is about right, and I just want it to be a good card that doesn't take up two slots, this looks perfect as long as it doesn't take up two slots though, if it does, then I've got a problem.
