well if i'm honest most g cards are going to play it above 640x480. Although if your talking about tiberium war then FYI the one i'm selling will play it at max quality on 1900x1200.
However if thats a little out of your bracket i think the only model down from the 8600 is the 8500's which are...
ooh i'd leave that well alone. its' U series, bottom of the range... originally inteneded for distribution at supermarkets (for them to show their special offers on etc) mainly retail anyway.
i have been thinking about getting one of those on the basis that it will be a good dvd upscaler regardless of what format wins.... hmm.
EDIT: Also there are only 6695 signatures to kill HDDVD and 17595 or something (can't quite remember) to save it!
monsterous machine but as massive waste of money IMO and a v poor time to upgrade, especially the g cards, they're not even 10.1 compliant so you'll be pissed off inside 6 months guranteed, if you want to spend another 2k then, then I suppose its fine so you may aswell get ddr2 until you do it...
only noticed this last night. less than 900kps at like midnight! this morning is back to normal but seriously thats so frickin stupid, it's the only reason i decided to go wi9th them!
tbh i was looking at the benchmarks on tomshardware for the GTS and they're awesome for the money. Supposed to be better than the GT and it's the same money on overclockers tbg. Its even outperforms the GTX is lots of places
