By the way that subject line read I was preparing my delete finger heheheheh 

Not a bad price. I'd personally stay away from them GeoForce tho... had nuthin but trouble with em... if it's same money, might consider a higher end Radeon instead. I got my boy a 9550 Radeon with 256 meg on it... for under 190. I got all SWG settings maxed and have yet to slow it down ;D

Is that Opteron a 64 bit? If so beware of your OS heheh You might go with Xeon's if all you got is regular Windows XP (non 64 bit)

[Aslan]

Piddle paddle I have a GeForce 6800 oc and it rocks!!! and I have found Radeon to be  well .......not as good sooo repeat after me My card is better than youooooooors!!! 


Trully tough you get what you pay for most of the time!

[hobovu]

i've been think of getting a new video card for my computer but they are all so expensive :'(  for me

[WildSlash]

GeForce are generally better cards.........well they are better cards.  >

Manufacturers make a huge difference though.

[Azis]

Geforce is a line of Nvidia card and has all levels of quality. Its the same argument as ford or chevy. Cept evr one knows ford sux heheheh 

If u get into the higher end cards its hard to go wrong with either nvidia or ATI, they both make very good products. ATI has had a rep for driver problems especially updating in the past but I am sure that is old history.

Card manufactures can make a diff, personally I use Asus mother boards and have for years so I prefer their cards also.

These folks tho get to the nuts n bolts n whatever else makes things tick.....
