I have a program I can check out if I go into setup on bootup, that tells me CPU temp, system temp, and fan speed. How hard would is it to get something setup to check vid card temps? It requre a lot of finagling around in the case? How good of indicator is system temp of how hot my vid card is?

pick up a thermal probe called compunurse, that would probably be your best and most acurrate way of getting a video card temp and its cheap i think it goes for like 13 bucks

That would depend on your cpu and video card... for me... I try to keep ALL temps under 40*C (104 F) or lower... now that I'm on an AMD system thats quite a feat. With video cards I've heard that 50*C (120 F) is where artifacts start to show.
*EDIT*
Sorry I didn't say this earlier...

For a tbird... thats not too bad. My XP1600+ idles around 39*C... full load is 44*C. Might want to see if you can move things in your case to maximize airflow... cooler the better.

I've got a Digidoc and my card O/C (see below) gets up to about 42 -43C running the Quake torture loop. That's with stock cooling but with AS3. One of these years I'll get my Cooljag installed and see how much better it runs!
