For those of you wondering what type of video card to get here is a very nice one from newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102483

This is the ATI X850 which is very nice. It has 16 pipes down is pretty much the same as processor transfer bits for a front bus.

The ATI x800 series is about $150 cheaper but not as nice. 256 mb of ddr3 ram is the best way to go in the lower price range.

Go with the PCI-e if you can. It would not be very practical to pay $200-$500 for an agp card that will quickly be out of date.

64 bit is here and the software will soon follow, don't invest in 32 bit technology if you don't have to.

Questions or comments...post away.
