Games Upgrade

Which is the best upgrade;
Ati x850XT PE - Nvidia 8800 GTS or GTX
or
Opteron 144 - X2 4400+

Ram is 2 Gig on a Vista 64 based System.

PCWorld are doing the 4400+ for 90GBP which is pretty good I think.
What are your opinions?

8800GTS OR GTX.

The first thing I'd do is upgrade to Windows XP.

IMO, the X2 4400 is the second point of upgrade.

If that is OEM vista, will it not throw a wobbly if you change any of those
parts? discuss!

I'm happy enough with the 64bit version of vista. I recently had a mate
drop me around some parts to build him a new computer out of.
Part of this build was trouble-shooting the all the pieces in my PC. It
just noticed the new parts and installed the driver required for it (though
I did wonder what difference was there between my Opty 144 and the mate's
4000+).
The grafix card needed different drivers of course and switching ram didnt
cause any hassle.
I was pleasantly surprised by this.
