New Graphics Card
I just installed my new ATI Radeon 3870. i then proceeded to play Crysis, World in Conflict, UT3, NFS Pro, and Garry's mod . And i must say, after moving from two 1950 Pros to this, i am extremly impressed and satisfied. I can easily run Crysis on all High with 30 fps, and i dont see why i should push it any farther and the moment. But this is a definite worth buying card, and worth every penny.

I have the 512MB 3850 (only reason I didn't get the 3870 was because it was sold out) and in my opinion it is a very good card. Glad to hear you went ATI...I think they have great mid-range cards. (never bought a high-end card)

Money better spent may be a different ISP.
