So things didn't work out so well with the Radeon. Every 5 minutes (usually less) the screen would go black and I'd see "display driver atikmdag stopped responding and has successfully recovered". I spent hours updating to the latest catalyst drivers then I spent hours downgrading to older drivers. SO. After careful consideration and hours of reading forums, I chose the eVGA e-GeForce 9600 GT SUPERCLOCKED 512MB DDR3 PCI-E 2.0.
I think this is the card that Rodney has and he says it's pretty good. It may not be the same card, but it's the one I ordered. The only thing I was worried about was my stock 375watt PSU. After reading the Dell forums until my eyes bled, I found that several people can run this card and higher cards by using the stock PSU. Apparently the 375watt can handle it because it pulls more from the wall and has one of those little thingies you can connect to your card directly to your power supply. A P-4 cable (6-pin connector). I also looked at the 8800GT and the.. well I looked at just about all of them. I wanted to keep my price UNDER 200 and I did. My next dealie to buy for my 'upgrading' will (maybe) be a X-Fi XtremeGamer Fatal1ty Professional. I may decide to upgrade my something else instead.
I need a f00kin job so I can pay for this shit now. I feel like a bad person making my husband unknowingly buy me things while he is hard at work.
