upgrading video card
I want to upgrade my graphics card, right now I have a 7900 in my Alienware and i'm looking to get the 8800gt oc. I bought a 22" monitor and I need a better card. My question is do I need to add an extra fan? I saw some fans that I can put in one of the pci slots. Do these really make a difference? Thank You

I've heard alot about the 8800gt and temps, seems many can get pretty high up there. Best solution would be a complete aftermarket cooler, with some good quality thermal paste. Second best would be extra case fan(s) and/or a PCI VGA cooler.
