if you psu has 2 6pin PCI-e i would say hell yea...

even if it doesnt, you can always use 2 molex connectors. you should be fine.

yea thankfully my psu has dual 6-pin pci express connector

anyone else's 2 cents?

You shouldn´t have any problems.

that PSU is rated for 34A on the +12V rail (38A peak), so if that's not enough for the 8800gtx... then that vid card just ain't worth buying... translation: you should be fine

Got enough room in the case for that long 8800GTX card? She's a biggy (long) according to rumors. I heard 10.4inches and 11inches depending on which rumor you believe. Make sure it wont butt up against any drives you may have installed.

i took a regular piece of paper (8.5 x 11), and slid it in my case, to check for any run ins, and it looks just fine in my Lian Li PC-7B

ill keep you guys up to date when i get my hands on her

the new flagship nvidia card uses 2 x pci-express connectors on a single card? whoa i guess i gotta catch up on my reading

Since the only constraints on your system being able to handle the card are the power supply & having enough clearence inside the case, you should be good to go.
