| well, since nvidia makes all the ge force chips, you'll get them either way  it al depends on how much money you want to/can spend.. the gf3 is the king of the castle right now, but costs a sh**load.. the gf2 gts is a fairly good buy im told nowadays, and is probably your best bet,,,,i use a geforce 2 mx...kinda a neutered gf2 gts.... werks fine for all my games, and runs REALLY nice  tho i must add the ATI Radeon has a lot going for it, and isn't that expensive at the moment... thers a lot of variables. i would suggest doing a lot of reading on the current video cards, and make a decision, when YOU know what you want and need...course, opinions always help cryogen

| Thanx Cryo, What i meant to say in the post was ATI and Nvidia...my bad :o I was leaning towards N Vs Ati, ecause of what I have been reading. The clock speed on the gf3 is threw the roof but the ratings show that there is another card out there that out performs the gf3 in a couple of areas. I don't know, maybe I think I will splurge and go for the gf3 anyway! I forget which card it was but will go with the flow and hope it keeps going smoothe!!!

| Nvidia if i'm not mistaken also uses DDR. I talked to them on the phone and they also use 3dfx's fsaa which they bought the rights from  So either way you win when it comes to DDR!!!
