Congrats! I'm still gaming with my $70 card, but if I tweak my games right, it works like a charm :D

will do,
i choose this card over the others being i bought hl2 for 56 bucks brand new, anda radeon 9800pro witch i would have gotten if i couldn't get this card was 200 bucks or more, so i figured 200 bucks for a 9800pro all in wonder card is cheap,
i paid 259 all together plus shipping, so go figure,

well my monitor wont run higher then 1280x1024 and i think the card will so i think the eye candy and ect will be utilized quite well.
