ok, i have a geforce 2 gts 32 mb(asus v7700 deluxe). i am building upgrading myslef a new computer and have an aproximate $1100 budget. i could get a P4 2.0 and keep my geforce 2 gts. or i could get a 1.6 or 1.8 and buy a radeon 8500 AIW.
the reasons for staying with my geforce would be: i would be able to buy a faster processor, i have no problem with the 3d performance of my current card, i just bought my current card less than a year ago, and i have formed sort of an attachment to my card.
the reasons for going with the radeon: i recently bought a 19"sony monitor and notice that the text quality isn't that great while i run at 1280 x 1024 resolutions and higher, i hear that the radeon will improve my 2d(text) quality and make me happier with my recetn purchase of that sony monitor, all the cool features of the AIW will allow me to watch tv on my computer(although i do have tv in for my geforce card but it's not the coax in), and although i don't have a problem with the geforce card in 3d i think the radeon would still imporve perfomrce and keep me up with future games better.
so if you were in my situation, which one would you chose?
repeat after me, we are all individuals!
