<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/alien.gif" alt="" />I'm running my PC with ATI radeon 8500. Though it's an old device(still no.1 for most of the gamers), I managed to find last stock around 4 months ago. I bought it deliberately, cause I already know it's loads better than anything for the price around 70-80$. My advice: Any Creative product, but you've already chosen that one, the other: Radeon 9500. It's a modern chip, with reasonable speed and price. Suggetsions on RAM, same as previously mentioned Kingstone HX. Cas Latency doesn't matter if you run WinXP, it always will stay the same 2.5, even if you change it in BIOS. Most important of all: BUY A NEW MB!!!! and I mean it. No Video card, and no matter how much RAM, buy fast FSB(like 400x2MHZ) MB, to get the full profit. Otherwise, your computer will choke. :P
