Sup Lev,
You will need to redo all your settings and macros. Kind of a pain in the ass but its no big deal.

[snapback]1427[/snapback] Acutally, I remember seeing something in POL that'll let you save your macros in POL so you can pull them up elsewhere or something like that. Look around the help whatever |

Yeah I would say now would be the best time to do it. Cause the expanstion will have the most recent update and you won't have to deal with that pain in the ass update you did when you first got the game. I had to sit through that bastard twice! Man I hated that!

well, i guess it wouldn't be that bad a thing for me to redo the macros. would it just screw up macros, or all my settings (chat color, controls, hardware settings)?

ditto ive been hearing recent complaints from friends there rad's have been heating up pretty bad an causing shut downs. :\ but those are just scim off the top of the total pool of people with that graphics card. they both have 9800's, there fantastic graphics cards, but i personally also think they heat up to quickly (quickly being played 4-5 hours.

x800 XT holds the highest 3dm2003 ratings (not that 3dm2003 is used for determining superior game graphics quality...just a nice tad of info to be aware of...lots of variables when running 3dm2003, though)
The overall standing in most reviews is that the cards are almost equal in quality...with the 6800 Ultra taking a small edge over the x800 XT. The x800 XT draws much less power, generates little heat (in comparison to the 6800 Ultra), and it takes up one pci slot. The 6800 Ultra takes up two pci slots i believe because of the super-tank of a heatsink
Keep in mind...you need a system that can keep up with these cards.
What games do you play/plan on playing? That'll help a lot if you need a good reference.
If you don't plan on playing HL2, Halo 2, Doom 3, etc. religiously, stick with a lower end 256mb vid card. That'll keep you up to date for a few years at least. To run Anti-aliasing at or above 4x requires a lot of video memory, and AA makes a huge difference when you want the upmost in potential graphics display (hence the 256mb recommendation).
But yea...tell me what games you will be playing.

i'm going to be playing quite a few of those, Doom3, HL2, Call of Duty, etc. i already got 768 RAM (soon 1 GB come christmas), 1.62 Athalon XP 2000+ processor. also got a Sound Blaster Audigy 2. now all i need is either an nVidia or ATI vid card. i even got some nice cooling put in my tower for all this shit.

theref is right, btw what type of tower are you in the market for? theres some seroius pwnage towers out there i knowa group called serius makes 6 fan towers. would that be enough? ill hook you up with some names and #'s. they have a shop right here in gilbert lev, hehe i worked for the owner one summer putting together units, so i think he would be cool for hooking you on a discount or "sale" hehe for a shizzle tower.
