Don't mean to be an ass, but I was wondering: Wouldn't it be cheaper to simply go with a good system that has integrated an integrated GPU? It's not like they are much worse than all those 64bit bandwidth GPUs you have there + you would have something more than a p3.

Really don't want to be correcting your way of using your PC; just wondering why you are still on a P3 and have a shitload of low-budget 3d-cards which summed up would make a far more equal to a more powerful system with a decent GPU-Solution. ^^'
 
Voodoo 3 3500 <= With the AV in/out pod and TV Tuner
nVidia GeForce MX440
ATI 9600pro (laptop)
ATI x1300pro
nVidia 7600GT
ATI 4870 512MB

That last jump was a doozy. I can hardly believe the fps!

LOL i don't use Integrated anymore, i stop doing that when i knew what a GPU was, this was back in late 2005 btw. Yes i didn't know what a graphic card was until mid to late 2005 :laugh:
