    Ben, which FX card are you getting. I was thinking about getting a GF4-Ti
    (4200 or 4600) but it isn't DX9 enabled. I want this for HalfLife2 and Doom3
    (though Carmack will most likely port of OSS/Linux - shaders are writing in
    an assmebly like manner). My problem is that HL2 uses some advance
    mipmapping, shader, and fog protocals. It should really bump up the bench
    mark, but it is DX9 dependent. Any thoughts?

    Cheers, Curtis.
