doom's not that bad

I had started with lowest quality, high performance options

but now I've increased it to medium quality in game and best quality in nvidia and enabled 2x anti aliasing

and it still runs smooth on my gf 4 440mx

what kind of cpu do u have? how many running processes?

well don't but the x800 by the time u're going to get it pci express will be common.

dont know how long this will last but dell supposedly has the x800xtpe in stock and they are only $416!!!!!

don't buy the x800 - by the time u're going to get it, PCI express will be common.

That's an advice I'm gonna take.

$416 still isn't something I would spend on a graphics card just to make a game run well. Heh run out, get an FX5200 ($50 or lower) and enjoy gaming - most games will run atleast at low quality on that card.

currently have 27 running processes and my CPU is an AthlonXP 2400+ (clocks at 1.9 ghZ) and 2 512 DDR at 2700 (1 gig of memory)

is PCI Express gonna be like a new conector on the main board or what?

Open up your box and see your MoBo. PCI-E is going to be like those (white, large) PCI slots that you have already - only, smaller, faster and better.

actually peg slots are gonna be rather large, almost comparable to agp slots but keyed differently... the pci-expressx1 slots are gonna be about 1/4 of what the pci slots are now...
