    Or a 7600GS for 97, which is better then the X1600pro and both those cards in some games.

    Yep. Although in some benchmarks, the 7600gs beats the X1600pro easily in titles like Doom 3 and Quake IV and even some dx titles, but the X1600 pulls ahead when you enable aa and af...

    Although in most modern games you wouldn't be able to enable aa and af anyway with either card (unless other graphics settings where on low), so it's not a huge deal

    Thanks a million .. I have a new dual core Dell and the graphics card fails every now and again and loads the vga driver - I have to use the dell reset tool to get it back - sometimes this doesn't work first time so bit of a pain.

    Quick Q .. if I was to change to vista later would the cards recommended in the thread here be 100% compatible ?

    Yeah they'd be more then enough. Even Intels integrated cards are fine for Vista premium.

    your card at the moment is 7300LE or X1300pro I take it? Either way, that shouldn't be happening, so if driver reinstalls doesn't fix the problem you might want to get back to dell about it

    Long time ago....I have a 6600 vanilla for sale now but to be honest its

    a)no better then the x800se i sold you before and
    b)not a whole lot better then a 7300le :D

    7300le is more then sufficent for vista though if that's your actual concern...

    ha, I should have never sold it - had to go out and settle for a 7600GS for another computer a few months later. Hindsight and all that though...:D
