Lol, well Doom3 I hear had their requirements a bit too pessimistic when released.  There are people with 1 ghz machines running it fine.

Sure, at 640x480, minimum detail with all effects off and caching as much data as they can.

Or did they not specify that

I have no idea what you're talking about.  But that's ok.  Whenver I get a new card I'll figure out what Alcoholics Anonymous has to do with video cards.

AA = Anti-aliasing
AF = Anisotropic filtering

And that still means nothing to me

[color=66ff00]I'd advise you to do a bit of research in that case, you're about to shell out a not insubstantial amount of cash for a card. You should at least try to find out what you're getting for your cash.

I just bought a GeForce FX 5700 LE (256 MB) for $120. It seems to run flawlessly. I would guess its somewhere near the equivalent of a Radeon 9600XT. The only difference I seemed to could find was the core clock speed was higher in the Radeon and the GeForce graphics core could handle 256 bits (I believe thats higher than the 9600.) Well anyway, it works great and I think I did pretty good pricewise. What do you think?
