      And investigate how much noise they generate. Some have sub-standard fans which cause annoying noise when you push it.
      I've had to buy third party GPU fans to reduce noise in my systems.

              seems that OpenGL maturity of the ATI Catalyst driver iss getting better since several revisions now...

              ...and hardware delivers more GPU power as well as less power consumption than a GeForce in the same price range.

                    Just ordered my new card - I went with the EVGA 01G-P3-1373-AR GeForce GTX 460 SuperClocked Video Card - 1024MB GDDR5, PCI-Express 2.0, Dual DVI, Mini HDMI, SLI, DirectX 11, Fermi. Here's hoping.
                    Thanks for all your help and advice.

                        that's right... I lost a bunch of posts from the first forum... I was at like 2200

                        when was that like 2004? 2005?
