eh stupid reply box. that first part was a quote and the 100 is suppost to be -100

Acidosmosis-- I agree with you on Jedi 2 - graphics are pretty much 'samey' and some of the levels were tedious but being a star wars nut, I would have bought it regardless.

I don't agree with you when you state that some of the games I mentioned don't stretch the capabilities of my setup - just implementing full shadows on jedi 2 can really bring the system down to its knees - at least, that was the case before I got my latest card - now, it runs like a dream. Medal of Honour IS a real hoot of a test game especially the omaha landing sequence but given that I only have 256 DDR memory, is a bit of the jerky side (thanks to constant hd access) but as I'v ordered another 256 of ram (£29 from eclipse computers), this should solve the issue.

I'm currently running unreal tournament 2003 (demo) at 1600 resolution with everything on barring AA and AF and it flies like brown stuff off a shovel - this IS a current game and I have absolutely no issues with performance on my machine.

By the way, Novatech are selling generic, Radeon 9500 (128 meg) cards for £109 - worth checking out.

I am planning on buying the Radeon9700 Pro very soon, within the next 2 months. I dont feel like bothering doing a OC. You can get a Radeon9700 Pro off pricewatch sellers for $230. Awesome price. I think it's OEM or somethin though. I dont care though. Not interested in having the box or anything i just want the card.

I played Jedi Knight and it was just.. awful for me. I even tried using noclip cheats to get through levels and in some levels I STILL couldnt figure out where to go. Bored me to death.
There is a Star Trek Deep Space Nine game out that I played the demo for.. was pretty cool, if I can only find the full game somewhere so I can buy it. It's single player but its pretty neat lol. Only Star Trek game I ever liked playing so far.

I'm not sure how late this news flash is coming out but, I just found the Geoforce FX 5200 w/128mb ram on www.newegg.com for 90 dollars. Now If Radeon has a card for 90 bucks that runs on par with the GF FX 5200 128mb, I might re-think my next purchase but, if not for 90 buck it's a great piece of hardware.
