I'm more of a sound person than anything.. I'd love to get my hands on an Audigy 2, but due to my cash flow.. I'm stuck with my 512PCI til my friend gives me his SB Live 5.1  |

My fortissimo 2 has been good to me the MSI TV @nywhere is a pretty good tuner, but could be better if MSI would update the drivers a little,  Video cards, I've always like S3 and ATI, the only time I like NVidia was when they where using the TNT series as their flagship card  ;D |

If you want a good cheap nVidia card, get the Ti4200 with 128MB RAm...Great buy

Video card: ATI (ANTI-Nvidia) Anti-NVidia hey? no point and wasting your time being against them, they're doomed anyways ;D haha, but ya they make a better budget card than ATI I will admit, but ATI holds all the cards in High end performance, bbut who knows what the outcome will be? |

I'm not an nVidia fan personally, I prefer ATI more-over but right now, nVidia has the BFTB. That Ti4200 is a solid GPU and is very nicely priced right now.

ATI will not do chipsets and if they did, they wouldn't be too great I bet. They are sick at video though. nVidia on the other hand, had been researching this stuff for a long long time. ATI would loose more than it could gain if they did that. nVidia has already dominated, then there's VIA, and SiS, and all others in the mix already. It just wouldn't seem probable.  |

ATi's working on IGP with chipset companies so really they're working their way up but im not worried about them making chipsets they make killer video cards nvidias playingcatch up for the NV30 i think it was when they found a flaw in it HAHA

I'm rootin for S3 here, more competition to drive prices down, and I always liked S3, and i hope in the new S3 card they keep the S3 MeTaL api in the programming for older games like unreal tournament which looked awesome under it, ;D
