Very nice writeup. Please change "loose" to "lose" though. I see too many people making this mistake and it drives me nuts.

Oh god I just remembered my GF2 MX400... I had to struggle with that card and play games at 640x480, sometimes at 16bit mode to squeeze out the last bit of playability. Also, I finished Quake 4 and FEAR1 on an FX5200 at <10 fps. Those days were hell. I am ashamed to have bought those cards.

it was the 7800GTX that made the amazing breakthrough with GPU power, not the 7950gx2

That 8800 Ultra was probably one of the best graphics cards this century. It can STILL keep up with modern games, and is STILL better than many of the mid-high end GPU's offered.

People who got that or the 8800 GTX made one of the best investments they're gona make.
