[color=green:6749a3507f][b:6749a3507f]With the recent Experience, I've had with Nvidia cards, I'll be with ATI from now on.
I've replaced 3 Nvidia cards that crapped out, so I'm not going back.
My ATI 1600X pro Plays UT3 Demo, and CoD4 Demo with eye popping Clarity,  8O 

Same feelings with Intel, I like AMD, have had no problems with my AMD's, But the Intel chip's, I haven't had 1 that lasted over a year :? 
Except my very first PC, A pentium III  that turned 7 years old this past July  8O
I never went with Dual Core CPU, guess I'm afraid of them :? 
I'm no super geek when it comes to PC's, and Benchmarks to me are just Fancy Numbers. 
I've always went with what I can afford at the time, and personal experience with certain brands.
Maybe I'm just the oddball, but I haven't spent more than $1000 on a new PC, since my first  8O [/b:6749a3507f][/color:6749a3507f]
