I am not real sure what the diffreance is between VGA and eVGA I am about to buy a gforce FX 5950 Ultra and it says it is eVGA and not sure if I can use this or not. I am not sure what comes stock in Pc's now.

Could it be - http://www.evga.com/ as a manufacturer

The GeForce FX 5950 Ultra is a very powerful card, but you may want to consider a GeForce 6800 GT or plain 6800 which are the new generation of cards (not LE or SE or anything). They are much faster and price of the 6800 should be less than the FX 5950 U, while the GT should be still more expensive (but so much faster, too).

Thank you all for the info I will have to way my options on this. A friend of mine has the 5950 that he wants to get rid of and all I have to do is make him an offer on it. If I can get it for a resnable price I may just buy this from him.
