im surprised to say that the way people write the Special Reserve mag and rank graphics cards as lower, middle and higher end, it really puts me off. exactly what does lower end mean?

You are one of those superstitious people thinking about their pc's cooling aren't you. don't need to worry with the GF FX ! Tho i'll be getting an ATI card next.

seeing as my PC case is open, but beside a wall, it does actually matter slightly wether it is noisy or not. right now, i can hear the medium-pitched hum of the fans going hard at work. imagine if that fan took up TWO slot bays.

I think I'm right in saying that Vice City is DX9.

Hope they convert it better than they did the last one.

Get a Radeon 9800 Pro.

Cheaper than a GFFX 5800 Ultra, and a better card overall.

Quieter too.

now that i think about it, im even trying to win some dosh on the irish lottery to get enough money to buy a geforce FX5800 ultra for me, my dad and my bro-in-law. i do the numbers, and mum just gets em on a ticket down tut bookies. my mum thinks im lucky, because she thinks 3 GAD's is amazing. not amazing, just skill, and talent. when i do, ill feel all warm and fuzzy when i give one to em. and maybe ill buy my sis and my mum loadsa jewellery, and a holiday.
