Once the game is fully installed and patched no CD is required.
About the 'upgrade' I went out and got a 8800 card and plugged it in, installed new drivers, and it ran fine, for about an hour when POP a loud snap and a whiff of ozone.
The fuse in the PSU blew out in an overcurrent situation.
I replaced the PSU with a larger one and everythings been fine since. But Ill tell you it scared the hell out of me.
