RE: [OT] : Graphics card advice wanted...

["Phil Harris" <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Nope - wasn't joking - just that while I'm "upgrading" the
rest of the
system it would seem sensible (if sensible is the right word to use) to do
the graphics card at the same time.

As I said, I don't use the system for games and it's only really used for
general stuff including TV and DVD playback - I do have HD-DVD and Blu-Ray
drives in it but the current processor isn't up to the job (I'd hoped that
the graphics card would have helped with that as it is supposed to have
hardware decoding on the card).

I'd just like to be able to run some of the benchmarks and nVidia / ATi
demos :-D
