Yeah, Awesome for me too, as a student i never had that
much money, but scince i earn regularely a lot of money
with poker its affordable :-)

I just was unsure about it because i read somewhere
that the drivers have to support reduced balancing.
Whatever this may be...

I hope so, after going for some years with Ati
and fuzzling a lot around with it i finally
want to switch back to nvidia.

I remember 3 years ag it took me 2 weeks
to get my ati drivers running, no comparison
to my last install, but i also want to try out
beryl and all the funny things which are not 
supported by ati.

At least i have a problem with watching
tv on my computer (see the other thread
i wrote one week ago) and i hope this
goes away with the new graphiccard.

Thx for the infos
