I've got the GeForce4 Ti4600-750XP, overclocked slightly (7 fans in the case should keep things nice and cool). Benchmarking in games gives superb results, it hardly slows down at all unless I start trying to hammer it REALLY badly.

And I agree, nVidia are far superior for drivers, and always have been......ATI are catching up, though, from what I've heard, but I've always used nVidia cards.

And, for whoever asked how much RAM you can put in a machine, it depends on your motherboard. Mine will take a chip of DDR400 (PC3500) RAM and another 2 chips of DDR333 (PC2700) RAM......so that's a max of 1.5Gb on those speeds. Or I could use 0.5Gb of DDR400 and 2Gb of DDR266 (PC2100) RAM, for 2.5Gb.

I have found out some info on the web about my PC, basically it says the motherboard can only support AGP 4x, not AGP 8x like I originally thought...

On the RAM front it says it uses PC133 SDRAM, and I can only have a max of 1.5Gb RAM. How can I upgrade my RAM using my existing 256Mb? Would I need 2 x 512Mb or something?

Sam you have AGP4x. Stick with the latest Radeon 9700pro. These are currently the best performing cards on the market.
