hey,
I want to buy a new computer, and it has been about 3 years since I bought the last one, so it's pretty old.
2.7GHz CPU (Pentium 4), 80GB HD and vid card Geforce 5600.
indeed, I believe it needs changing.
However, there is a problem with that. Now days, with all the 8*** coming out, it seems that somehow things gone wrong and 8600, which is supposed to be about half the price of the 8800 (the top), has only about a quarter of the power the 8800s has.
That's because something happened that delayed ATI's release that let nVidia rule the market (for the time) and made ATI to have to follow suit. Go figure.
In the mean time, there aren't quite that many DX10 games out there, and I haven't quite fulfilled the DX9 games. The problem is, that according to
certain sayings, the graphic cards will have surprisingly low performance on these new DX10 games that should be coming this year, and with that there should be more powerful cards. This should be true to both ATI and nVidia.
The question are, what do you think I should do (within the limits of reason and money, of course) and how the hell does nVidia order their graphic cards?! all those GT and GTS and GTZ and who knows what else.

Also, if I'm buying a good graphic card this year, I'm not planning on buying a new one the next year. . . or anytime soon.
