    Sounds nice. 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.

    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?

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