With those ever-so-powerful Intel Xteeeme!! graphics. Yep, your rig not only thread-craps it's a smokin' gamer system!That's more than I payed for my last DELL
Good deal Drizzy for people wanting "the best," at least until April/May when the next generation is out.

good deal, but not worth it, unless you're a die-hard hardcore gamer, craving for the top-of-the line products, my 7000 suffices for CS, and halo (obviously OC'ed and tweaked) so, im not complaining, just wait it out, the next-gen cards PCI-16 or something like that will blow AGP out of the water, so calm down 🙂
Oh I agree I wouldnt buy it myself because of the price but some people with $$ would buy it.. just posted it for others to see. The PCIe cards will probably be $400 starting out.... so they will probably be a bit more but then again they're supposed to rule these cards... up to you.. I'm happy with my 9800 pro. 🙂

hehe, it never hurts to wait a few months after a new item's been released... e.g. PCIe 😛

Gah! How can a 7000 suffice for Halo? My Ti4200 64mb is slooow in Halo. I mean it isn't very bad, but i notice the frames going to the 20s or less range in some spots.

im getting 20+ fps, oc'ed and tweaked to get max performance, but i set halo with particles and decals, with halo settings on the lowest i can manage to get 30+ fps, yea, it's not that great, but your TV is only 30 fps, and console games are smooth, so 20+ fps on a radeon 7000 on a gfx intensive game like halo is nice enough, considering im using one of the lowest of low end cards.

Halo is also very CPU dependent. lots of graphic functions are actually done in software, can't remember what the exact resaonning was...
