Video card to get? I haven't followed the video card scene for 2 years. I know I'm asking the same question as other do!

I haven't really been playing games cause of mba, and work, but I bought a dell 9200 with core 2, but wanted to get a fast card for the next 2 years.

What do get? should I get the 8800, or its not worth the money now?

Just wait, the 8800 drivers suck with quite a few games and no vista support if you have that OS.

Just wait after the 30th for better dx9/vista drivers or wait for a R600.

a) vista is not even OUT retail (how many threads do we have about that now......groan :)

b) if he really wants to look as far as two years in the future i'd defintly go with 8800GTS/GTX

Or, as zs said...R600 is an option too.
