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 |

I personaly trust ATI more, just because i have never had a bad ATI card or ever known someone who has had one, wile they may not be the fastest there definatly reliable. Althogh now that I have xp my geforce fx 5700 LE OC 256mb does not over heat anymore and runs much better than i ever though posible, my opinon might change.
My geforce now runs hl2 at its highest video settings with absolutly now lag  I have yet to move my doom3 files over from my other HD but when i do i can really put it to the test.
