Well thats the thing, price. I have a 150$ budget right now (Lol, I'm just some teenage kid with christams/B-day money to burn) I had 200$ but spent 50 of it on DCS. Leaving me with only 150$. hats why I want to 8600GT and not a 8800GT or higher. On newegg, I can get a 8600GT and a 550w Powersupply for 130$ without tax.

I know about the power supply, I plan on buying a new one. A Rosewill 550w powersupply. It meets the requirements and is cheap. I cant run the 8600GT with my current power supply because it doesn't come with a 6pin connector, I dont think.

Honestly, I cant really tell you. I simply dont know, I've never taken the time to figure out all of this stuff, that why in my first post I put a link over my computers name, you should find all the right info if you click on it. I dont know my computer's exact 'specs.'

Good to know ;) Thanks for the sharing. Good to know ;) It's kinda cool cause it was your video (edge, and the overview) that kinda helped me achieve the final decision to buy Black Shark, lol. Were you using the 8600GT when you made those videos?

Okay, just bought this game for download (of course) 2 days ago, I already love this game. I do have an issue though. I cant do anything but fly the aricraft unless it gets choppy. Like, I can take-off, fly, and [sometimes xD] land safely. Anything else, such as combat, I get choppy and laggy. This is due to my video card, an NVIDIA GeForce 6150 LE. I need a new one, any suggestions? My computer is a Gateway GT5618E. I've been thinking about getting an NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GT for its price, will it run this game smoothly on medium settings? I also have another issue regarding my joystick (a Logitech Attack 3). I have the slider set for the collective, but when in-game, the collective seems unresponsive when I move the slider, but when I press numpad+ the collective responds just fine. Same with numpad-, it works. Can anybody shed some light? Never really had an issue configuring stuff with this joystick.
