Careful with them MSI 66GTs as they have the funky wobbly sink issues.

If you're using the same case, better make sure it vents well. This will be more powerful and will run a lot warmer than a standard gateway, especillay one that's 3 years old

Shadow · 07-12-2005, 07:42 PM

Maybe, Ill just get a new case.
Any suggestions?

And Ive writen down what you all suggested.
Thank you.
