However one point to remember like AH1 AH2 is (unfortunetly) more dependent on CPU then graphics card. Which maybe dosn't say much for the graphics engine.

I have the GeForce and contrary to what everyone is writing on this thread. it Works just fine. and I have Zero complaints
and works fine on any Game I've installed. Unlike the things I hear about The ATI cards.

Newegg has better prices.  Go to Newegg, click on Computer Hardware Tab, then click on Shop by Category, then scroll down to Video Cards. Use the tool on the left to bring up any kind of chipset you want to compare. Newegg has 10x the selection of Compusa.

Asylum is an excellent brand, that's what I got at Frys.

Well, I think it was a good choice, you should be able to get 3-4 years of video gaming out of it.  My geforce3 ti4200 is finally starting to creak a little, but I still get 30-75 fps in ah2 with everything at the highest quality.  Course I have a 2.8ghz p4.

remember - use a driver cleaner to remove the previous drivers then install the new drivers - download either the recent cat4.5 from ati website or use the recent omega driver.

You will not have problems after
