Just picked up an ATI Radeon 256mb 9550, so I can play BF2. Wasn't spending over $150 for a new card just to play one game. I now have 2 cards sitting around collecting dust if anyone is interested.
-.- well I originally got an NVidia 6600 LE which was a wicked card but it had issues with my motherboard and stopped my CD drives from being recognized, so I had to send it back.. :*(*** Ended up with an ATI Radeon X700 Pro, very good card card considering it doesn't require a cut off the power supply, so I've been using that with the VGA to DVI converter (don't see any difference in anything) and it's great.
Hey Butzie, What version of 3DMark did you test with? 01, 03, 05, 06? It looks like an 05 Score, so I'll run 05 today and post the results. Here's the 3DMark03 score i got. http://www.specialforcesteam.net/3dmarks/3dmark03.jpg And my Card is an ATI Radeon X800XL AGP
That's my 05 Score. My card is not overclocked (yet) I'm waiting for my Silencer Gpu Cooler to arrive. Then I'll re-run the bench. X

They were 10$ cause some dude came into the shop, and wanted Good Drives, I, Of Course, sold him two WD's (in my opinion the best drives on the market). I asked what he was going to do with the maxtors, and offerred him $20 for the two, he gladly took my money. I still think I got ripped even paying what I did. I currently have two WD 160's on Lay-Away, to replace the Maxtors. Then Imma have a Maxtor ABuse party, and Videotape myself beating the shit outta those drives with a 6 pound maul hammer, and Imma mail the tape to Seagate (They recently aquired Maxtor). X
