but, not that good that something made 3 generations later would still give it a run for itīs money.
Weird.

Anyway, the main problem with my card, apparently, is the (lack of) support to pixel shaders.
And some textures.

Transformers doesnīt even start. Complains about Pixel Shaders.
And on Outrun2006 i canīt see the tracks or the cars.


i was thinking about investing as little as possible now, and on the end of next year, get a whole new machine. But i usually just browse the net, play some emulators and play guitar through the computer, so i donīt need a beast machine.

I will look for some deals on used cards.
And yeah, i know iīm stuck with AGP, which is main concern about even touching this machine, itīs not like i could buy a kickass card (woot for credit cards!) now, and when i upgrade it, put it in the new mobo.

But thanks for the info...
