One last thought,

        With 8600GT (w/GDDR3) prices in the high $40 low $50 range, you might 
consider
an upgrade. The 8600GT (w/GDDR3) is 100% faster than the 8500GT. The 8600GT
provides a 22.4 GB/s memory transfer rate while the 8500GT limps along at a
feeble 10.6 GB/s. To give you a little better feel for the comparison of the
8500GT, the Geforce 4 TI 4600 release some 7 years ago provided 10.4 GB/s of
memory transfer.

        I have run an MSI 8600GT O/C edition for the past couple of years 
pushing a
24" screen at 1920x1200 with compiz, etc. The 8600GT just rocks. If you bump
the price point up the ~$60 you can find the 9600GT which has a memory transfer
rate of over 57 GB/s equivalent to the 8800GT as well. However for some reason
(Marketing most likely) the price point for the 8800GT is still in the ~$70
range or higher.

        Of course if the 8500 works to your liking -- keep it!
