Thought not. You probably wont see any real performance difference between those cards on any game in the next 2 years.

So, given that there are compatability issues with the radeon, I would say you should probably stick with the card you have.
Exactly andrew! I have stated that to the hubby several times. But I am awaiting Deus Ex 2 which looks to take a pretty hefty toll on your graphics. Anyway, it's not easy to withstand the hubby since he's working at a certain Canadian computer company.

Felix, thank you. [img]smile.gif[/img] But what file are you talking about when it comes to W&W? Is it the Radeon patch? Or? Oh and W&W is definitely playable on XP. You did check the tech tips thread right? [img]smile.gif[/img]
[/QUOTE]I don't have it anymore, and can't remember where it came from. It was in the W&W forum for awhile. When I was on my KFOR rotation I remember we revisited that file for a new user. It's somewhere located in the forum. Without that patch file it makes the mouse very hard to pick up items. Especially when trying to get those darn coins in the Serpeant Temple. I'm not sure if the new drivers have addressed the issue or not.

I went through the XP tech files, did the virtual-dub thing, but still cannot gain access to some of the shops, or leave from the gate towards the crypt. Besides, since Morrowind came along I haven't had the time for other games.

My gosh Willow, your hubby works for a certain hardware firm in Canada? Geez Louise, you ought to be able to smoke any 3D application that comes along!
