Will this videocard be a good combination with my motherboard, amd64 x2 dual core 3800+ and 3gb ram?
(Thanks for the fast answers)

your cpu is probably too old to really use the card's full potential. but it should be fine in most games...

Oh looks like TAT is incompatible with Vista x64 (For now) Try Intel Desktop Utilities (IDU) it is suppose to be a Vista alternative for TAT.

It will work on high settings in a game like crysis?

well... because an athlon 64 x2 3800+ is old and will hold back the graphics card in CPU intensive games, like supreme commander, where an athlon 64 x2 3800+ is less than half as fast as a core 2 duo e6750 and barely produces fluid framerates.
Stimp123: crysis should run ok on High settings, but not Very High probably. Crysis is the most demanding game out there right now so everything else should run good.

Remember if you are getting frame rate issues.
Shader/Shadow/Post-Processing/Object Quality - Mess with dropping whatever combination of those to medium.

Please somebody tell me buyin' an XFX 8800GT 512MB will be GOOD for this rig |
I wonder how you got a good pc like that with so little knowledge about hardware...
Now stop asking weird questions and go get an 8800 GT. You can't go wrong with an XFX one. It's great performance for a low price and it's a good card for your system, should do very well with that Core 2 Duo.

Your CPU is going to bottleneck the 8800GT...

ok, I thought you were saying that the cpu affected the gfx card, not that it was simply a bottleneck (for DV2 that means that the computer can only run as fast as the slowest component).

Ummm...how do i do that? ^^;;...my RAM speed is 667 (333mhz) at EVEREST (the 3 RAMs r Kingston)
My C2D E6600 is 1066FSB as i remember from the buyin' catalogue i've got...
Remember i use ASUS..if u kno' the way to OC my system WITHOUT BURNING IT / MALFUNCTION IT please tell me step by step clarified...
PD: Will doin' this boost up games,applz and boot up?..i applied an XP Patch so it works for C2D but i dun feel much difference i guess..

My goodness, this has been drawn out so far. Buying PC hardware components don't involve the level of complexity of building a motor. You have only so many combinations of stuff that "work" - or are otherwise incompatible.
You've done the first step which is put a system together, now asking if that 8800GT would be good for the rig is like asking if jumping off a 10 story buildings gonna hurt.
It will work, and it will work great. Don't even bother OC'ing at this point. By the looks of what you've said so far - you will by no means care for the performance improvement from the Overclock. You'll just be in amazement at how fast your games will be running. Don't bother with any mild overclocks until you are unsatisfied with a particular (CPU) heavy games performance. Done Deal.
Just put it together and play your games!

@ DV2
In the BIOS, go in "advanced", put "Ai overclocking" on manual, push the FSB frequency (CPU external frequency) from 266 Mhz to 333 Mhz (from 266 x 9 = 2400 Mhz to 333 x9 = 3000 Mhz, 9 being the multiplier), if needed increase your vcore -CPU voltage- from 1.300V to 1.3125V (or 1.3250V, 1.3375 or even 1.3500V, as needed for your OS to remain stable/boot), let your ram -DRAM frequency- on Auto or set it manually on DDR2-667 Mhz.
This will boost apps and the OS overall, not really games unless they are CPU dependent.

I've got this AI Suite program for XP,will this work 2?
My actual CPU Voltage's 1.1760-1.1920

well in the end i did the fearful OC on my CPU...usin' the BIOS and setting all to AUTO except the FSB from 266 2 333mhz .AI Suite shows the followin':
CPU 38C
System 43C
Volt 1.4000 (AUTO O___O )
Fan 1300RPM
Chassis 2500RPM
No probs so far...for now..what do u guys think?...

@ DV2
Then it should be ok, set the CPU voltage manual like said above, 1.4 seems over what is really needed.

You need to test for stability. Best way would be to run a game in benchmark mode. If it doesn't crash then it's stable. And the bench-mark (if successful) will tell you if the overclock has improved the gaming performance when compared to non-overclock benchmark.
