It's the speed more than anything. Sure, shopping arround might be marginally cheaper, but when you can speed's good. (my GF4 fan died a while back, I was expecting a replacement, they refunded me which took three days to come through (and I needed the refund before I could re-order). Ah well...at least I'll have a ATI 9500 pro at the end of it, but I do regret losing a week+ of work time with 3d studio max..this graphics card can't handle it) Andy Dawn Falcon _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
