What Card?
The only thing that does not work is that the boot screen is not changed. It reverts back to original Win XP pro boot screen. Would be a good program if it worked!.

What card should i get?
Leadtek A350 TD MyVIVO Geforce FX 5900 NV35 AGP-8X 128MB DVI With MyVIVO AGP ($753.75NZD)
or
ATI Original Radeon 9800PRO 128MB DDR 256bits w TV/DVIÂ ($$865.91NZD)Â
I dont know what card to pick, i dont really think the 256meg ver is worth the money($1100 and $1000). As you can see the Geforce is $100 cheeper
I dont care about Radeon vs Geforce stuff i just want somthing that runs fast...(sound is not a big problem, as my case is a noisey beast any way) and i have seen/read so much stuff about both talking each one up.

Get 9800Pro 256mb DDR2
If I were you I would take the GeForce.
Its cheaper, for one, you won't need the extra 128Mb, and you can also be sure that Nvidia's drivers, whatever happens, will ALWAYS be great. I like ATi a lot but I must say their drivers are not.... "all that" :P

Erm...
That is for what we call...benchmarks. If you buy a card just to bench it, then I for one am surprised. When I say great Nvidia drivers I mean the fact you can be sure that they work, that there aren't going to be big problems (hey you can play Half-Life with more ease on a GeForce 2 than on a Radeon 9700) and everyone knows that the Detonator series are better than the Catalyst ones. I would love to be able to say that on equal price the Radeon is better, but until I get totally flawless Catalyst drivers, I will stick with saying the Nvidia 5900 Ultra cards are better.
Remember, drivers are half of what you pay for in a Graphics card. Many people overlook that.
However for all the other cards my verdict is different, (unless maybe the 5800 Ultra) since all the others lack power, compared to their ATi counterparts.

Just to be the devils slave and go against everyone else... I have tried both ATI and Nvidia.. And personnaly of those two cards.. I would go with the GeForce FX simply because it performs better!

However, I can also vouch that the Catalyst drivers have improved significantly in the last few months!

My favourite is, of course, GF FX card. Why??? Because it is better, faster, stabile, and because i have it and i'm very much satisfied with it. I am 3D artist

buy the cheaper FX card

Get Leadtek A350 TD MyVIVO Geforce FX 5900 NV35 AGP-8X 128MB DVI With MyVIVO AGP. That's like the best graphic cards of all the graphic cards. Is that correct??? Please correct me if I am wrong. But GeForce FX 5900 Ultra is 128MB and ATI Original Radeon 9800PRO is also 128MB. So that might be your choice. I would preferr to buy Leadtek A350 TD MyVIVO Geforce FX 5900 NV35 AGP-8X 128MB DVI With MyVIVO AGP (nVIDIA).
nVIDIA might be better than ATI. nVIDIA is my best graphic cards. I would only buy nVIDIA graphic cards for my computer. I will never buy ATI graphic cards.
Tks.
@2Pac :
You should follow the graphics card comparisons/reviews a little
Especially in DX9 benchmarks or newer games all FX show a very bad performance and in other benchs/games both ATI and NV are on par with highs and lows on both sides
And ATI has better drivers at the moment at least without "Optimizations"(to not use cheats) in their drivers

And ATI graphic cards are still beating nVIDIA graphic cards.
