21 Howdy,
22
23 If you wqant to be able to run last years games and watch full screen
24 (1600 X 1200) video, the Nvidia 6600GToc works very well. The fan on it
25 is quieter under full load then a high end 125mm case fan.
26
27 I can't say if it will run 2006's releases of games, but it runs DOOM 3,
28 UT2k4, Quake 4 very well.

30 Best of luck.
