Lovely card, I have the XFX Alphadog Extreme Ed. One suggestion though, buy a Zalman VF900-Cu cooler and swop the stock one for this. It cools far better, without any of the howling fan noise

I think you don't have to ask "what's your comments" on this one. Firstly, it's an XFX, and secondly, its a 8800GT, not a 8500GT or some other slow piece of plastic, so it is safe to buy.

Off Topic.
I currently have an ATI 850XT and I'd like to get the VF900 or similiar cooler to make it quieter. If I get that VGA cooler, will I be able to use it with both my current graphics card and, say, a 9600GT I might buy a year down the line?

I'll check a compatibility list somewhere, but some guidance as well please.

Edit: the Zalman website has a compatibility list but it only goes up to nVidia 7xxx. I had a look around and it seems it will support the new cards, so I may have a new purchase on my hands.
