My 9700Pro died. On a 3Ghz (478) P4 with 1GB I have a choice to replace it with a 9800pro or bite the bullet and go for a 6800GS. A 9800 is about a third the cost. I mainly want it for sims stuff like FS/IL2/FALCON/SHIII and perhaps the odd FPS. This in a 1280x1024 TFT. I usually have AA off. I don't really have the funds to replace the whole PC.
