    dont get either

    sell your 7800gt on ebay and get a gtx or x1800xt


    your 3200 at 2.5 is probably as fast as a stock 4000

          Get a GTX. The new beta drivers support mixed cards with SLI, as long as they are the same series.

              Not quite. Don't forget the 4000 will overclock too.

                Buy a puppy. Your pc is plenty fast. Save it for when you need it.

                  push your oc higher and get a zalman cooling thing,

                  I would sell the 7800GT and get the GTX or the 1800XL

                    2.5 is the highest i can go, it crashes anything above, i have the big 120mm zelman fan, running it at full speed right now, and it keeps it cool so no overheating

                          get the new ATI x1800

                          its better than the 7800 according to toms hardware guide

                            Don't get a second card unless you run at a res that is at least 1600x1200. You won't see much of an improvement otherwise.

                              if you're not already, get into photography. use the money towards a DSLR of some sort.
