It sounds like Radeon is the way to go but now I'm really wondering about the DX10 cards. Toms site doesn't include the GeForce 8600 in his benchmarks but I found other sites showing it beat Radeon HD2400XT.

Just under $170 and it will kick serious ass in any game @ 1600x1200 or less (XP drivers are very mature, don't diddle me with DX10 and fuck Vista until SP1). AnandTech, HardOCP, PCStats etc. are some of the best review sites. Oh yeah, unless you're rich, save your $ for your retirement fund or get an 8800GTX and enter the elite zone. j maccraw wrote: > ATI X1950 Pro & XT's from Sapphire, VisionTek, PowerColor, etc... get > my vote on either bus.
