    I am going to buy one today.
    Hopefully all games will run till end of 2009.:)
    Any reviews? And which is the best?
    Like EVGA, ASUS, XFX etc?

    It's a GPU ;) Shreyash, sure you'll be able to run games with the GPU in 2009 but most probably at the lowest possible settings. The 8600 isn't much of a powerful card, it wasn't last year and it definately won't be next year. I would suggest going above budget and buy an 8800 unless you like playing games on medium settings in low resolution :)

    I've got 8700gt on my Toshiba x200. Its nice. I can play Crysis on HIGH, no lags... it runs smooth.

    8700gt and 8600gt are pretty same.

    8600gt is a pretty decent game....game like ut 3 and crysis would run at medium settings without any log....you might get good fps.....However 8800gt is the best card if you are a true hardcore gamer...:p

    8800GT (evga) is the best. I personally own the 8600 and it works pretty well with games such as oblivion, stalker, need for speed pro street, PES 2008 and others

    I'm waiting for my new psu to come so I can install my 8800gt.

    I was using a 7600gt but the evga model had a crappy fan thats gone out on alot of people.

    No, I don't. When I first saw this, I thought this was a car. The GT sounded like it.
