erm, im not sure, the difference in speed between the geforce 4 440mx and the ati radeon 9800xt 256mb is so big that its tones better, im not sure wether a nvideo equivalent ati card is better or not, i think i might get an nvidea card next tho i just swap. i deffo wudnt get a pentium processor again tho, they are wank, loads of over hearing problems, i use pentium 4 aproved fans and the fans, ive tried fans for 3.2ghz and even 3.8ghz... they all over heat.... damn things. i never had a problem with my athlons.
