Oooooooo! I found an even better one for a good price. ATI Radeon X1600 Pro AGP 512MB. It's on sale for $179.99 CAD at Future Shop. Good price! Can't wait for my next paycheck. This will definately be a good satisfier till DX10 cards come out.  ;D

Hmmm.... I have very limited knowledge concerning the ATI cards, so I don't know if this one is very powerfull or not. But the fact that it has 512 Mb video memory is definitely helpfull for the performance. It may be a good choice... but I will let a ATI expert confirm this...

im running a 1600pro at the moment, i must say its not a bad card. BUT for the same price you could pick up a nvidia 7800 with a bit better performance, or so i heard ;)
