No, I'm found, but haven't decided yet, we'll get to that when it comes. I'm not one of those "I'm leaving home as soon as I can" people.

Instead of moving out you can buy/rent a bigger house and live/share with your parents until you have a high education. Being 18 does not mean you are leaving home as soon as possible but instead it means you can start taking charge of your life and make the choices that will lead you to success as well as not being able to be told "no" at.
That was just some advice...although I think you already know that...it's more concrete (ooooo...big word!!) if you hear (in this case read) it from someone else.
If I insult you...don't get offended...my insults are "friendly insults"...I know this sounds stupid (ridiculous) but I am fet up of writing, "no offense" in my posts...

lecsiy I've just noticed your post regarding catalyst, and I have to say I find it completely untrue. Catalyst I've found perfectly stable on any card, it's just if you happen to get a faulty card then you have the issues.

could you not just settle this war by using 2 pcs(identical but with the latest NVIDIA card and same for ATI).Run a demanding graphics game such as doom 3 and see what is best?

That's what benchmarks are for, and there are millions of them out there, but the trouble is, results vary from game to game, card to card.

but its the same game and just seeing what card can handle it better as doom 3 is probably the most demanding. Stretching them to there limits.I would say put the new NVIDIA to play doom 3 and ATI wont stand a chance.

actually ATi cards have caught up with nVidia (and even surpassed them in some tests) with Doom 3 since the game has been out for a long time. New games like FEAR and Elder Scrolls: Oblivion are where the real hardware testing is at.

@ sammoris:
ATI is better then, right? (slightly)
So...if I wanted to have a gaming rig then I should have a AMD CPU and a ATI gfx card? (preferably)
Is my PC good?
Intel 630 CPU
1 GB DDR PC3200+
330 GB HDD (80 GB+250 GB)
ASUS P5GDC Deluxe Mo-bo
ATI RADEON X600 PRO
I guess those are all the important stuff...

sammoris.. for me anyway ive found catalyst to be unstable and i hate it!! lol
Ive had problems with it. Maybe its because of the card maybe its the catalyst but it still goes under ATI really.

Everybody has their own opinion, I know of one disaster casde with ATi, and a couple more with nVidia. Sony vaio laptops may only have nvidia cards in them if that's what sony prefer, both ranges are good. S3a, your PC is "OK" I would put it, but in terms of gaming the graphics card is a bit of a snail really. Better than integrated, but not by much because, in order of performance, from your card upwards, all these cards are above it:
X600Pro
X600XT
X700Pro
X700XT
X800GT
X1600 Pro
X800GTO
X800 Pro
X800XL
X800XT
X1600XT
X800XTPE
X850 Pro
X850XT
X1800GTO
X850XTPE
X1800XL
X1800XT
X1900GT
X1900XT
X1900XT-X
Quite a long list!

Jaysfan, you become independent at 16 where you live??!!
P.S.
Here is my "tip"...do not move out unless you have the money and do not drop out of school...school is the priority or at least what leads to money...lol.
_____
Back on topic...whatever card is the best buy is what I will buy...ATI or NVIDIA, but if they are equally good in terms of price and quality...I will buy a ATI card...
___
@ sammoris: Ya...all those cards ARE better but are the majority of those cards much better or slightly better?? If they are slightly better...I still consider my gfx card...very good! I ask because I haven't checked but I'll check now since I am bored and have nothing to do but even because of boredom, I just simply don't think I have the time to see what each card offers so save me the searching trouble (I assume you already researched each individial card).
Thanks sammoris!!!!!!! For keeping me excited about gfx!! One of the most important things in games I might add....only some games can make it without the graphics...Half-Life for example...although I prefer Half-Life 2 more than the first and it is not because of the graphics...it is because people admire you because of what happened in the first Half-Life (I don't know because I didn't beat Half-Life but I did beat Half-Life 2...I am almost done Half-Life). They say things like "My god! Is that who I think it is?? Gordon Freeman!!" It gives you the feeling that you are big sh*t! Unlike the first which people totally ignore you!! Not to mention...the gravity gun (especially on the last level) I got off-topic but to defend my case...Half-Life 2 has demanding graphics...lol...and I hope my ATI RADEON X600 PRO can deliver the full performance that Half-Life 2 requires...according to a magazine that I have read...if you have a 256 MB Card, that is the maximum gfx that Half-Life 2 supports...mine can deliver the full performance, right? I ask because, I want to trade my Xbox version of Half-Life 2 for the PC Version...
P.S.
Do not think I am mean for this but...Hey! If there are no stupid people in this earth...we smart people can't make money (etc)! So...every while (a few months or so) I want to sale my gfx card for the same price that I am going to buy a better one....how? By selling it to someone who only buys from Future Shop and Best Buy for example and does not know about OEM product while I buy the better one (which will be the same price that I am selling mine) but OEM!! I just need some help to facilitate this for me....of course, I can do this myself but...I like when people solve my problems...I know this is psycological but I'd rather solve someone else's problems and have that person solve my problems then me solve my own problems...however my trust relies only on afterdawn...
P.S. #2
Do I talk (type) too much??

most of them are much better, I'm afraid! HL2 doesn't have very demanding graphics compared to newer games, I ran HL2 at a higher res on my old X800 than I can play FEAR at on my X1900XT. Your X600 Pro won't do too badly, but you may still fall short of having the high levels of detail. The not supporting more than 256MB of VRAM is mostly cobblers, and in any case, it'll just use 256MB of the 512MB on a bigger card. Since HL2's aging, that's all it'll need. You don't really type too much, there are worse people at that than you. Let me know what you're buying and I'll endeavour to help. If you're on AGP though, a new mobo may not be out of the question, PCI express stuff is cheaper and increasingly better.

In some ways yes, it's the best performing high-image quality card, and will give the best performance with combined AA and HDR (since nVidia can't do that). A game rendered with 6x Temporal Anti-Aliasing, 16x High Quality Anisotropic Filtering and full HDR lighting, even at 1280x1024 looks absolutely STUNNING.

Sammoris, are those in order of which is the best one? In other words....is the first one the worst then gradually getting better and then X1900XT-X is the best one?
P.S.
Sammoris, when I said 256 MB is the maximum Half-Life 2 can support...I did not mean that 512 MB Graphic Cards wont work...as you said...I meant that on a 512 MB Card it would only use 256 MB...
Plus, Half-Life 2 has very, very good graphics!! I only imagine the newer games...what game do you recommend that I buy?

i wouldnt say the x1900xt-x is the best card; what about the 7950 gx2 dual cor gfx card? once nVidia gets the drivers right for quad sli, i doubt it'll be replaced for a while.

Well, I meant only in the ATI area...the X700 Pro is better than the X600 Pro, right? I ask this because on the list...X700 Pro is better than the X600 Pro but where I bought my Graphics Card...the X600 Pro is more expensive than the X700 Pro!!!
P.S.
We have our ATI Fanboy (sammoris)...now we need a NVIDIA fanboy...lol...I am serious though...the fanboy's will point out the good sides of each card from each brand....thanks sammoris for the previous "work" and maybe the future "work" you will do for us (or me).
P.S. #2
Is this a good graphics card? (It is better than the X700 pro, right?):
http://www.bestbuy.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?sku_id=0926INGFS1007...
(canadian money)
Well...the x700 pro is 140$ while the one in the link is 170$...which one is a better deal for me? Answer this...but I will still probably buy the X700 Pro...it is better than X600 Pro though, right?
