Sweet, if you wouldn't mind, let me know how that works out for you. I've been riding the fence about getting that very card for a while now.

They always put that on the boxes, even in newest cards..



Looks nice!

Nice. Looking at your specs however, I would have said that a RAM upgrade would have been more important. 256mb is barely enough to run Windows!

Simonmd has a good point, I'd also look at the power requirements for the card. A 250w psu may not be enough.

That's not my power.. i don't know what it is, i don't even know why i put it there :D

And yes i need bigger ram, i saw a 512mb with 258 on eBay for a buck, but postage was $10 :D :o
