I went from a ti4400 to a 9700pro on my 2.8g P4 and a gig of ram. I noticed
a big difference in game performance. It was worth it for sure.
I know its not a nvidia card, but you should notice a nice boost going to a
more modern card from the gf4

You'll need a 5900Ultra or 9800Pro to get a worthwhile upgrade at this
time. Thr 9600 is quite a bit faster... but maybe not enough worth
the upgrade.

The 5700U is a great card, but it's not a quantum leap over a 5600U,
just significantly better. I'd stick with the 4400 for now until the
newer core revisions start to come out and we see an end-of-life upgrade
for the NV36 line or the 5950 comes WAY down in price. Right now isn't
a terribly good time to buy a new card anyway.

The 4400 is still a pretty good card and actually scores higher than the
low end FX lineup in DX9 games.

Just get a good screen for now, and if your card can handle it, punch up
the refresh rate and lock vsync, 85-100 TRUE sync'd FPS is a beauty to
behold.

I think we need to check our definitions. Quantum: small, but significant
:-)
(I know, since everyone says "quantum leap", and quantum sounds "outer
spacey", they assume it means stupendously huge. But think of the size of
an atom for a second.....)

Man if I had a nickel everytime someone said that, I'd have quite a kick
butt system.
Oh well, enough whining for Friday afternoon......

No, bearing in mind the relative distances involved where quantii actually
leap, the distance is in fact, huge.

"A quantum leap" is the same as a human being jumping over the Atlantic
Ocean.

Quantum means abrupt, noticeable, definite, discrete, distinct, significant,
etc., but not huge. For example, if a price goes from 97 cents to 98 cents,
that is a quantum leap in price.

To use your analogy, it would be like a human being moving to the airplane
seat next to him, or stepping down one step on a flight of stairs.
