They know what they are about.Your principle choice is desktop/tower or laptop. If you go for the latter make sure it has a GF2go or later GF3/4 based variant.If you go for the former do *not* buy a GF4 yet. They may be like AMD's naming scheme. I speak of the old Althlon naming convention where an Athlon 1.4 GHz would beat a P4 1.7Ghz flat. So be careful with the GF4. I haven't had a good look at it yet. What i do know is that in a price/effectiveness ratio nothing beats the GF3. The new ATI card comes close i think but still nothing beats the GF3 Pro. Whoever said their GF3 is "old" was full of crap. GF3's still going strong. Heck my 800 MHz Duron with a GF2-MX (original, not MX-200 or 400) is still alive and kicking!So for a tower/desktop:- 256+ MB DDR 2100- Althlon XP 1800+ CPU- GF3 ProOr for a laptop you need to make sure your getting a GeForce2Go or better. They are fractionally slower than a full blown GF2-MX (i think?) in a desktop.Hope that helps! Post back if you've got more queries. I'll be happy to answer them.</blockquote>
