Re: Finally DONE!!! It's Alive!!!
The only problem that I have is now my 8800 GT is giving me fits. I had VISTA 32 on the machine. Installed 64 bit adn now my FPS is going from 299 at times to 12 during fights!!! I can't figure it out. I am almost willing to buy a new card (Maybe ATI) jsut to see if it fixes the problem. Might just bring the box to QC for some friendly tuning before I purchase.
What do you think of this card? I ahve always had NVIDIA but have heard that Steam runs better on ATI. Thoughts?

What driver version are you running with your 8800GT ? I think they just released new WHQL drivers the other day. You also might try some of the older WHQL drivers and see if that helps any. Sometimes the newer drivers aren't always best for older hardware...
Either of those cards would be good. I'm not as familiar with the AMD/ATI manufacturers, but I do know that XFX and Visiontek offer lifetime warranty on their cards. Most of the others only offer a year or two.
Here's an XFX for $149.99

They have a special today on the XFX 4890 for $189.99 (Promo Code EMCLVNP29)
