Many games that are not 3D graphics intensive benfit quite a lot from a more
powerful video card - Civilization IV, for example, shows a big improvement
with an 8000 series nVidia based card. Not to mention the primary RAM freed
up by going to an add-in card rather than integrated graphics that use
system memory. One of the sub - $100 US 8000 series would also provide DX
10 compatability should you go to Vista.

| 7300GT seems like a nice card. For a few more bucks, the 7600GS is a
| pretty good step up.

Think I'll try the 7300, first.
