You won't get improvement with the ATI 9800. Soem games may actually run
slower. Better off with the top of the line FX cards, which will run the 128bit color version of DOOM III very well. OF course by then the optimized drivers will be out.

It's the fastest GeForce3 model. My particular one is made by Hercules and is very good for overclocking. As I said, my Ti4600, although noticeably better, is not the huge improvement I would have expected. I didn't overclock the Ti500 except to test it once. Perhaps I should have. The Ti4200 should be faster. If you can even find ti500's around now, they're still (imho) the best bang for the buck. They're almost the same pace as a 4200 and generally 40% cheaper. I have a PNY ti500 and just run it stock, quite slick. Next upgrade will likely be a shift over to the ATI side of things, I haven't tried their newer line of cards for quite sometime. |

Really? I thought ATI 9800 (actually 9700 due to lack of Linux support in
9800) was faster than GF4 family cards. I heard bad things about the new GF cards. Like 2 slots, hotter, not much faster, etc. Did I hear it wrong?

That is what I am planning to do. -- "Individually, ants are stupid.
