I also picked up the ATI Radeon X800 XT PE card and it kicks ass. I can't wait for Half-Life 2 to come out and see how it blows away Nvidia since it was designed for ATI cards  Nvidia pretty much blew away ATI on Doom, I'm hoping that things will change in HL2.

Sounds nice.. I was looking at an alienware system using the fx-53 (aurora I think they call it), or possibly getting the raw parts, or a barebone system.. Havent decided yet. I'll probably use ARS rewards for it, so I may not see it for quite some time anyway, lol.
I'm using a POS freebie system now, so it's no surprise I'm blazing away at a remarkable 2 frames per second. It's really not a "game" at that point, lol.
