Can u get an Nvidia 6800GT for that over there? if so go for it. It will clock to ultra speeds and run like a dream. I got the ultra and only drop to about 20fps in really busy places but this is due to my older cpu/mobo now. Think AMD64 is the way to go for me now Grin

For image quality go look at my post XFX6800 Ultra in this Hardware section. I put two screenies in there. thay are taken at 1600x1200 with 4xAA and 8xAF. I am well happy with it.

AMD64 3500+ @ 2200MHz 400FSB&&MSI K8N Neo 2 mobo nForce3 chipset&&1gig Corsair XMS PC3200 timings @ 10.2.2.2 &&XFX 6800 Ultra @ 450/1200&&80gig HDD&&Loadsa fans!!!
