    Jugde is pushing hard in NV ATI /AMD price fixing.

    I agree, i never spend $600 on video cards lol. The most for me is $400 tops. my 9700pro and 6800GT back then was $400 new, same with my 8800GTS 640 this was along time ago of course. Its amazing tho how the new cards like the 4870 which i believe is just 1 model under like a GTS was are...

    Help me replace my 9800pro AGP

    Simple. Get a 6800 non pro, or 6800GT.. Altho with a 250watt psu i doubt you'd be able to handle that video card.

    Cost of operation in electricity

    Just replace all your lightbulbs in the house with energy efficient ones to offset the cost. Or just stop eating Mcdonalds for a whole year and you'll save money and lose weight at the same time :) lol

    Trust Ebay for an LCD Monitor?

    Maybe im ignorant on this response, but how would a bigger monitor have a lower Dot pitch or pixel pitch then a smaller sized monitor ? The resolution is bigger but only because the screen is bigger. Do you have proof of this ? I know 19 inchs widescreen that use 1680x1050 resolutions...
