if anandtech.com recommends this Combination then it should
be ok. I had the same doubts. I own a SK83G and the FAQ at
shuttle say that it is ok to pair it with a GF68000GT! Go
Figure! I didnīt believe it and emailed shuttle here in
Germany and they confirmed this.
The GF6600GT is not as powerhungry, and should run sweet!
I am waiting now for my GF6800, and then i will see!
There are many Shuttle-Forums where this Question is a very
often asked, and the guys there are often critical or
cynical about their systems, but there are NO Posts about
Power Failures or a too weak Power Supply regarding to the
SN95G5. The Power Supply may have a lower Wattage, but they
are definitively High Quality, if even shuttle recommends
such Cards.
Regarding your Question about the CPU i agree with the
Poster before me, just buy a boxed one, itīs meant for End
Users, and you have no warranty-Hassle.
Hope that helps!
