And if you are looking to SLi in the near future, 9600GT gives your more performance. But if it's just a single card then 8800GT is faster.

When it says DDR3 on the graphics cards does my motherboard have to support DDR3 or just have the PCI E 2.0 slot ? i think i know this answer but i been using radeon cards the past year.

DDR3 memory on graphics card have absolutely no relationship between your motherboard nor your PCI-E slot.
