I'm running 8 gb, windows 7 64, Core 2 Quad Q9400, and 9800 GT.

Is it worth upgrading to this:

Unless you really, really wanna run 5 WoWs at high-detail/high-resolution, no. 9800GTs have been powering 5-boxers through successful arenas and raids for quite a while now.

Hey, thanks for just posting a link without any commentary. Benchmarks are great and all, but when what you have works, do you really need to upgrade?

That would be a huge upgrade. Not for WoW, but in general that is a big upgrade. I'm sure this guy plays other games besides WoW (I hope?).

I don't know anything about graphics cards, and I bought the 460 GTX evga.
It works great for 5 clients

I wouldn't doubt that. The 460gtx is a beast, it is also a monster folding card for Folding@Home.

I bought a Dodge Charger R/T with the Hemi. It works great in my neighborhood.

(see what I did there?)
