    Keep the one you've got for a while, wait until Dx10 is affordable, and there's some good games to benchmark cards against. Also, wait until Vista has gotten rid of some of it's bugs.

    And when you do get a new pc, sell your old one to me!

    Heh perfect autoing pc. Enough ram for a couple vm's and enough proc. to drive 'em.

    Better than what I made myself ($560)
    I have AMD 64 X2 3800+ Dual Core
    1GB RAM
    160GB HD
    NVIDIA GeForce 7600GS

    And macroing is great. VM's are not (mouse lags like whoa). But it's all I need it for.
