That's a pretty awesome looking card you got there. I like the glowing colors, but that's just me. How does it perform?
I think it's time to upgrade my 9600 Pro. lol

Thats a cool one! Im planning on getting a Desktop right before August comes. I will give my laptop to my lil brother so I think Imma get myself one of those Alienware with Sli technology (2 vid cards working together). I'd build it myself for cheaper, but damn... I can't find the time to do that.

Rest of the system is XP3000+, MSI Nforce 2 400 Ultra board, 1 gig ram, 200 gig SATA + 3 80 gig EIDE (all Western Digital). And all of that in a black, 4 fan Lian Li case with a Enermax TruePower 550W PSU. Also I have a Benq 19" (LCD 16 milsec).
I can play all games at their max detail settings and I run all games and desktop at 1280x1024. Half Life 2 looks just incredible. My CPU is much more of a bottle neck now than this card. Games like Sims 2 (believe it or not) tax it the most. The CPU I mean. This card is fast enough that nothing out right now can really faze it.
My next upgrade will be a 64 bit CPU and board.

Right now the best is a MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum, Nforce3 Ultra. Only decent S939 board with AGP support. S754 is a waste of money.

Well there are still a few, but your right only 1 from MSI. That board does look good and is only $99 -

I dont know. That is why I posted this. I would love to know what the max speeds and temps are on the cheaper cards. Like the Sapphire and the EVGA.
