Video Cards - Now What?

So I've been strategizing on how much I absolutely would have to spend to get myself a cutting edge PCI-Express video card.

And, of course, I've realized that going after a 7800GT or *drools* 7800 GTX board is just too expensive as are those X1800 whatchamacallits .... so that I was hunting for a best value 6800 Ultra board when .... And I learn that, already in 2006, it looks like both nVidia and ATi are going to be coming out with dual proc gpu's ... *sighs* which means that the current batch of 7800 wonders are destined to come down in price rather significantly if I wait a little longer which, of course, is exactly what I didn't want to think of doing ....

So I just wanted to share my frustrations with you.

*walks off*

Dual core gpu's? I'll have to wait before I buy my computer for 'college' I guess.

there's never really any good time, there's always something else better just in the offing. just get the best you can afford right now, otherwise you won't get anything. with the pittance Mrs Ed gives you to spend, I have an S3 Virge 4mb PCi that will suit you just fine!
