    Spec me a PCI (yes, PCI) graphics card

    Really? I was under the impression that PCI could shift over 100MB per second? (although I dont claim that the impression is correct :p) I did consider that because I do agree with you and the 'stop polishing a turd' comment. However I had wanted to use the PC side of the system from time to...

    PS2 setup effecting performance? (or am I too used to PS3?)

    "Officer, what colour are your socks?"
