Actually, it's probably better if you get any card for now and wait till nVidia releases the new 9900 cards this July.

DirectX 10 sucks big time. I really can't get used to Vista, although I am trying, God knows. I am for now stuck to the Windows XP 64-bit Edition, in order to benefit from the 4 GB od RAM which I own. Frankly, I prefer AMD over NVIDIA, since they have a more refineed 55 nm production process... but that can be a matter of personal taste.
Wait until July, but most of the mobos for LGA775 support the CF... having an Intel chipset.
Besides, NVidia are too arrogant lately

I wonder people keep saying Vista sucks >_<..I find nothing wrong with it. + DX 10 actually makes the game looks much better a bit

Agreed, Vista has worked fine for me so far.

Same here I have no real issues with Vista the UAC I personally dislike but it is my option to disable it. I think Vista manges memory very well and like XP it has growing pains like any other OS
