New video card get.

Upgraded from a Radeon 9600XT to an X1950 Pro. The difference is phenomenal. Have another matched pair of 512mb RAM sticks coming in a week or so as well.

Here are some meaningless benchmarks.

3DMark with 9600 XT

01 - ~17000
03 - ~4000
05 - ~400

With X1950 Pro

01 - ~22500
03 - ~14000
05 - ~8000

i.e. the smart thing to do.
