Hey Yellowhampster
Thanks for the address, checked it out and it's cool.


this weekend I'm going to try to put a fan on geforce FX 5200, had a look and it was built to fit one if i remove the massive heatsink aready on it... going to try to put a blue orb active fan on the card...

on my other thread, it was suggested to me by Posifossy, but hey it's worth a look... wish me luck..

I don't even own doom 3. I tried a demo of it on my old 9000pro and it was ok. I got my 9600pro and have not tried doom 3 on it. Half life 2 is fine on it as well as CS:S and C&C ZH

Since you are not play alot of high end games the powercolor 9600pro 256mb should be fine.

In a few months of years the AGP X800's will come down in price to the point you can get one for $150.

I have an ATI 9550 256mb. Its pretty good, plays MOHAA and UT2003 great with graphics as high as possible.

But i tryed to play a painkiller demo, and it couldnt handle it (although UT2003 has way more textured graphics...strange).

But its a great budget buy!
