the only ATi card that i was able to handle was the Radeon 9250. But everytime i want to get an ATi card, something always come up and i ended up getting the nVidia variant (TNT2-> 9600XT 5900XT comes out/5900XT->9800Pro/XT 6600GT comes out/6600GT ->X1650XT i find the 8600GT a better deal/8600GT ->HD 3850 or 3870 i find the 9600GT a better deal)
