is it good for gaming?

what is yours?

[Mazhar]

id prefer going for a 9600gso for a bit higher, but the 8600GT is fine for gaming at resolutions of around 1024x768

I have a 4870 coming up, 4850 in this computer, 8800GT in the other computer and 7800GTX SLI in the older computer

usually went for the best before, hence the SLI in the older computer, but then decided to spend more on accesories..but then again the 4850 seems to be no slouch, i love it.
