Yeah, I have the same one, and I can usually blow through a manual in one "sitting" (if you catch my drift), but this one's a freakin novel. Not to mention I have more power cords than I think I'd ever need.

LOL... In my dreams.

Still it's good to plan ahead. Actually I'm going to buy the ATI 9800 PRO A-I-W (All in Wonder). Prices should drop soon. I was wanting to record some home movies to DVD and maybe use the AIW as a PVR.

Not to mention the fact the 9800 Pro is still an excellent chip and should help with BF 1942.

ya... i didnt read it.... LOL... Before the last 3 weeks in physics i didnt know a volt from an Ampere to an Ohm so bear with me...

Sonar, make sure you have 1024 megs of RAM before u buy the card, it helps a lot ! I can get huge FPS with my old Ti 4200 because i have 1 gig...

Sonar something to consider with the AIW is it only has one dvi output. If you want to run dual monitors you have to buy a second card.<like I did> ATI sells a tv tuner seperate for about 40 bucks, which you can add now, I beleive it has PVR built in. Not sure but something to consider. Good luck.
