I think my Geforce2 TI450 Video card is in need of upgrade.. maybe I can convince my dad.. it still works though. Any suggestions on that? I am leaning mostly towards ATI right now.. 9500 or 9600.
I have a Radeon 9500 (non-pro) with a 9700 PCB. I'm happy with it. If you're lucky enough, you can successfully patch it to a 9700/9800. (I get a bit of the checkerboard-effect unfortunately, so I put things back.)

Gah... and I thought I'd expect some help from euro-geeks..For there is [another] kind of violence, slower but just as deadly, destructive as the shot or the bomb in the night. This is the violence of institutions -- indifference, inaction, and decay.
