Hmm... in that case I think I'll rotate cards every 3 weeks or so until
something better comes out and drops prices ;)

Personally I wouldn't use DX9 support as the deciding factor yet. Very
little uses the parts of DX9 that need lots of power to implement. nVidia
would be stupid to leave it out in the next set of chips.

What I desperately need now, though, is the S video to composite adapter so
I can send DVDs to the TV sitting next to my monitor instead of tying up the
monitor. Have I mentioned that DVD burners are a good thing? ;)

He who seeks will find, and he who knocks will be let in.
