i'm actually rather pleased that this has been the only thing in all my 300-odd posts that anyone has actually said "what the huh?" to. :D

Is that *roughly 300 posts* or *300 strange posts* or both? ;)

And your friends are stoopid. matching desktop to game rez (and color depth) still works, even on some new games with new systems. (Crucial on Max Payne, for example)...damn good suggestion.

And I still stick to my guns re: the G-Force 2 as an outstanding "budget" card. I think it's the sweet spot for price vs. performance right now.

Not trying to start a which card is better war/debate or do the puffing out of the chest to show how better whose System is better than whose, I tend to prefer nVidia card simply for driver support.
They tend to put tons of effort in their card support by continually updating drivers, in fact new Detonator drivers were released today. Nothing hurts more when you just picked up your latest game from the store and WHACK!! big disappointment and let down as your wrestle with the darn thing for days trying to get it to work properly. Its just nice that you can rest assured that your problems are not driver instability/support related on the hardware side of things as you troubleshoot. I am not saying nVidia is perfect either but their strong support is welcomed.
