Well, after buying HL2, I decided that it was time to stop running off of my intigrated mother board video, and finally get a real card. After lots of concideration, I just ordered a ATI Radeon 9800pro 128mb All-in-wonder. Even though they are just coming out with the 800X series, i figued that this was a better value (250 shipped from newegg.com).
I've heard not so good things about VIVO video cards, but it just sound so cool to me to be able to watch tv on the computer. So did I make a good choice? I know I probably should have asked for advice before i bought it, but i couldnt wait.  Setup: Asus motherboard 2.8ghz P4 80gb maxor hdd 768mb pc3200 400ddr intigrated sound ATI Radeon 9800pro 128mb All-in-wonder |

[right][snapback]210638[/snapback][/right] Ive heard the exact opposite and my x800 pro overclocks awesome with a stock fan, I cant imagine what Ill get out of it when its being water cooled.....I have nothing against nvidia, but theres no reason to be biased against ati, they make good cards. |
