.. but i would say the choice is up to u and the money you wanna spend on your new video card... good luck on finding one mikey!!

Get the one with the smallest box. This will make it easier to shoplift.

:: DISCLAIMER - TYO and the other members of TVB in no way encourage or support criminal activities such as shoplifting. However, if you do plan on "accidentally" leaving a store with a video card, we suggest that you use a conc grenade to propel yourself over those detector thingies by the front door. We do not recommend using a pipebomb or rocket jump, as these weapons are sometimes associated with terrorist factions. And using a napalm jump will leave you open to arson charges. Thank you. ::

I'm getting an 8x AGP one! I'm building my own system.

Now I need to know a good AMD XP 2100+ cooler!

Mikey!!!! You just had to get an AMD 100 faster than mine, huh? (i got AMD Athlon XP 2000) Get a GeForce 4 card, they rock. (You don't have to get a titanium, but a MX440 would do..). It's best to get the processor already package with a fan(combo set), because then you got the fan built by AMD for that specfic processor.

I would say Geforce. One, I have owned two Geforce cards, and they have been excellent. My current one is a Ti4200, and the one before that was a Geforce 2 GTS.

I have used ATI cards at work, and they have been fine, but they are not in the same class in my opinion.

Now, I would suggest you search on the web...there are a lot of review sites out there that can help you decide which to get. Here are a couple of those sites:

http://www.3dvelocity.com/reviews/revindex.htm

http://www6.tomshardware.com/cpu/02q3/020916/cooler-59.html

That last one talks about fans. You can also go to the Nvidia and ATI websites...good sources, even if they are biased.

I am planning to build my own computer soon as well. I might just post the specifics here in a bit.

Hope that helps you!!!!

Well Mikey how soon are you going to do this? If it's going to take you a couple months to get all the parts you might want to wait and the vidcard and get the NV30, the next generation Nivida chip.
