Well I'm building a new system for my son(gaming, FF11) and he is itching
for a 256 mb card. I told him he didn't really need it but was looking
anyway. I can't see popping for a top of the line Nividia chipset either.
That's why I'm at the 5700. Maybe I'll look at the 5800's

Well... A: Youre buying? B: You have ultimate choice...

If he really wants it, make him work for it...

A 256mb video card DOES NOTHING, unless you buy the 5950 for $500~600,
and the extra speed is NOT because it has 256mb.

What kind of CPU/mobo are you getting, case? Put that extra $50~100
towards better parts, etc. For the budger, ATI9600-XT with Half Life
2 is the best deal... or 5700Ultra-128. Not worth getting 5800s,
they have been discontinued a long time ago.

Check out this case, it TOTALLY ROCKS!

http://ap.terrabox.com/rpc - Thats about $110 for that case with
400watt PSU.
