Sounds nice. :thumb: I was tempted to up to the 256MB ATI Radeon X600 and i probably could have if i opted for the 17" mon instead of the extra $160 i spent for the 19" Also wanted the p4 3.8Ghz but after my eyes saw it upped the total price by $700 my wallet ran away.

I think the X300 should be fine for most tasks and a little gamming.
Now i can finally play doom3 and callofduty. :D

If you don't want to spend for the X800 (which is overpriced at present) definitely get your hands on an X600. Should only cost you €120 or so?

Too late now but thats ok. When prices drop in the future ill pick one up. :thumb:

Have you or are you going to download catalyst? Im pretty sure i can use catalyst on my x300.

Yeah I'm using the Catalyst drivers. The chipset drivers are normally faster than the card manufacturer's drivers I find...
