im not a fanboy of anything, i just want good, for cheap, and that happends to be the 4850, best card for $300, about the same as a 9800gtx, and alot cheaper, and better than 8800gt/x ultra...
i would prefer nVidia, but this is the best card for cash out at the moment.... Wolf, i know you dont have much $$$ at the moment, but i think you should get a quad or an E8400 instead of that one... The newer games are starting to be designed for quads, IE Farcry2
