I'd go with the nVidia if I were you. ATI cards are always limited by poor driver performance for the first year or so of their lives.

I thank all of you for your input, From what I have read, I am still a little hesitant on the ATI Radeon card. I don't want to spend all that money and end up with more headaches trying to play games they I already have I appreciate your help

just some ideas Mac

you know, there's a certain air of unreality when your video card is as fast as your old processer.

It's when you have 2x as much RAM as CPU clock cycles that is disturbing...

I have:

Desktop 300Mhz vs 320Mb RAM
Laptop 300Mhz vs 320Mb RAM

That's not quite 2:1, but more RAM than Mhz at least .
