Ok, how about I ask Is it worth buying a 200 buck monitor to replace my old funcky CRT.
Or should i save it and buy a new computer when i have enough money?

I have a AGP 6600GT.
I DONT Mind useing the 6600GT, But the fact that it is AGP is why i dont like it. I need to get A PCI rig... I will probably keep my 6600GT until playing games On mid-HI doesnt work anymore...
(im looking to updrade to a dx10 in July of 2008)

PCI is definatley nice. I use an AGP card though and it runs nice still. I was considering buying a 7800GS Superclock till my PCI-X rig but will just pass on it, cause I'm getting a new box for Unreal 2007. You can probably get a 7800GS or a 6800GT for $200! I use an overclocked GT and push it well past Ultra specs with Artic Cooling. It is nice and stable just how I like it. Not sure how well your card OC's but if you do, make sure you cooling is adequate. And be aware that no cards out right now support DX10, and Crysis and Unreal will most definatley be based on that format. Great chattin!

its not worth it, just save up and get a PCI rig, dont upgrade to a 7800GS, because your going to have to spend the oney to upgrade to PCI when dx10 comes out, so you might as well wait.

Damn you to hell evil satan spawn, with your WIDE monitor. Hehhee. Looks very nice. I can't figure out why ME, and LCD's just don't get along. Maybe I should try and find that instruction manual after all. :)
