The 8800gts 640 mb is a good card. Im running one now, im getting a average of 170 fps in sh3 with bad weather with GWX 3.0.

My processor E8400 3.0 ghz

3 gigs of ram

vista 32 bit

8800gts 640mb.

Thanks for the comments and recommendations.

I've done a bit of research and found that probably the best card for this system is the Nvidia 8600GT 512 MB DDR2 PCI Express. It's approximately 70 bucks at a couple sources, so coupled with a Saitek EVO Cyborg, and a second 20" monitor, I'll be good to go.

Cheers,
