Better late than never... freedom is not free so always thank those who have given so much for us.
Congrats bud!!

My wife and I will celebrate our 26th this year - I don't feel as old as I should
Good luck!
I'm just now catching up with the boards - sorry to hear about the health issues, Pyro! Glad to see you back and "sounding better"
To all the DC dads, happy fathers day!
Life got in the way of gaming so I'm just now catching up with some expenses - next month
Sorry to hear that FM! Hope to see you back on soon. Good luck!
Thank you DEM!
One problem: the GTX 260 (216 shaders) seems to be hard to find and it is actually more expensive than a GTX 295? For that price, would it be better to just go with the GTX 460?
Good catch Dom - sorry, I forgot to mention the 64-bit OS (yes, Windows 7 64-bit)

Thanks - I will have to up my power supply since the minimum for this card is something like 480W (the new ones don't pull as much)

Thank you DEMONSLAYER!
Hello DC'ers!

I've been thinking about upgrading my video card but I'm not sure the juice is worth the squeeze... here is my current config:

Vid: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 260 (216 shaders)
Mobo: ASUS M3N-HD/HDMI (supports up to PCIe 2.0 and AMD2+ procs)
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 (black edition)
Mem: 4GB (2X 2GB)

I know I could get faster disks and improve I/O a bit (or maybe add a SSD for the OS)

The question is: would upgrading the video card make sense? I've looked at the GTX 460 (for the price range) but not sure it is much of an upgrade... thoughts?
Heya Griz - long time no see!
Very nice - grats!
For those of us old enough, that's one of the days we'll always remember where we were when we heard the news.
Happy birthday bud! (belated - sorry).

And I second your thoughts on what is important: spending time with loved ones. Cheers!
