Even if I owned a DX10 card, right now I'd stick with XP, no question. Admittedly, a lot of that is based on the fact that I don't want to use Vista, but even so, I think a lack of Anti-Aliasing is a terrible oversight on DX10's part.

By the time R&D gets things sorted out there will be newer GPUs.

does the ram affect the performance?...is it a waste having 1GB ram on a 8800GTS?

It's a waste of money owning an 8800GTS. The GT is a lot faster and much cheaper. But yes, you should have at least 1.5GB, preferably 2GB or more to make good use of a GPU that powerful.

Yes, it's a complete waste of time. The 8600GTS isn't anywhere near fast enough to make use of that much RAM.

I'm dubious whether any card needs more than 768MB of RAM at present. The 1GB on the HD2900XT is simply so advantageous because it's high speed GDDR4.

Not really, you can however monitor your IMs and emails with the second screen, so you don't miss anything important while gaming. Some games like Supreme Commander support multiple screens so you can use both for it.

I'm not sure. Not that I know of, but perhaps, I hadn't considered that idea.

I did that, but to my knowledge you can't run both at once, you can only look. Did he use a keyboard splitter, and if so how did he set it up? I may just get a 2007FP sidebar for my 3007... :)

he basically had the game windowed, not full screen. it still takes the whole screen size, but when he wants to go to msn, he would move his mouse over enough and it would go to the other screen. no hassle.

Ah well, If you're going to run the game windowed you may as well do that on one large screen.

If I was spending that much money on a graphics card though, I'm not sure I'd buy the crummy OEM version. It's only the OEM version that has been price dropped so far I think, so you'll still be looking at £300 if you want a proper brand like BFG.
