I've been out of the tech scene too long and my BF is buying me hardware after much cajoling.
It's come down to the NVidia 7600 GS 512MB DDR2 AGP for AU $229
vs.
ATI X1650 PRO 512MB DDR2 AGP for AU $249
I play Civ 4, TS2, Dawn of War, Command and Conquer series, NWN, but no FPS. I'm getting Oblivion for my b'day from my folks with an autographed Xbox 360.
The rest of my PC is pretty average, as the BF is a non geek, and explaining how a 10,000 rpm hdd is better than the 5400 it came with is a little hard, video cards, however, he gets.
So what's more stable, and what'll run better?
Thanks.
