I feel sorry for all the people that upgraded to a Radeon 9800 Pro last year just for the soon to be released Halflife 2.

I got to agree with you there. I run a PNY4400 and it takes every game that I throw at it just fine. Before that I had a TI200 and loved it. I haven't had any ATI's but I'd be willing to try one maybe once. I might wait just like Staz until after HL2 comes out to upgrade. Maybe it will be a 9800 pro, who know's, but I know I won't ever pay more than $150 for a card.

I have a 5200 in my girls box and it seems to do just fine for the low end games they run. So I'm happy that they are happy. (Sim's, Zoo Tycoon and Age of Mythology) Never had any video probs what so ever.
