The 7300LE has less horse power than my 6600GT.

Doom III? Better get a 7600GT. Mark Dodge wrote: Does anyone know of the cheapest glass card?? I have been looking at getting one to just be the minimum needed to go glass but not break me, it seems on reviews which I have looked at for days, aero glass is not something that is mentioned too much, just gaming perf. My 6600GT apparently is not enough. I am not really a gamer but I'll go a level or two of DoomIII every once in a while. Mark

Let's not count DX9 codepath support on the FX5200, which is for useless for practical purposes. :P On the ATi / DAMIT side, you have the 9600, which was slower than a 9500. -- JW
Re: [H] Aero glass and video cards
Does anyone know of the cheapest glass card?? Can't answer your question but I recently turned off the glass effect on my Vista laptop. I found it too distracting, and not conducive to productivity. Anyone know of a reason to keep glass except for the fact that it looks 'gee whiz'? Gary VanderMolen

Mark I'm confused, a 6600GT is already a pretty powerful card, certainly more so than the crappy GMA 950 integrated stuff. -- JW
RE: [H] Aero glass and video cards
To check it out mostly and maybe have a little better and faster card than I have. But I do not need to go all out, just the best card for the buck that would be the minimum needed to run glass.
