Depending on the screen resolution, spending extra money on an ATi 4870 or a Nvidia 260 (216core) might be worth it. I currently play games on a Sapphire Toxic 4850 512mb.

I personally plan on waiting until the Evergreen(DirectX 11) generation of ATi cards comes out later this year. Then I'll pick up a 4890 for cheap, unless the new cards are priced reasonably at release. [e dig

Reply to Too many hobbies, too little time (rambling) in Personal Computing Stardock Forums

The veil thing reminds me of picking rocks on the farm with my Dad. My brothers and I would sit in the bucket while my Dad would drive the tractor around. When he stopped the tractor it was our queue to pick up all the rocks in the nearby area that were bigger than a fist. This gets a little tiring after awhile. When we started to complain we were tired my Dad would say, and I quote: "So?". [e digicons];P[/e] The really funny thing is he had two perfectly good
