Listen to the man. Don't ask for requests and then completely blow him off.

Yeah that would work, I've just had some bad experiences with tigerdirect.

I don't like TigerDirect. They always send me crap in the mail periodically.
I'd just get the 1 GB 9500GT from NewEgg: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.as ... 6814130395

But, that has 128 bit interface, which isn't exactly the greatest.

Well, I'm actually not buying from TD.ca, I'm just using it to see what prices they are. I'm actually buying form a store fairly close to me. either that or Future-shop

Nah, it doesn't have much power for games, just by using CUDA which makes the gpu as a cpu.

Fine, it won't be as good for games as a 280GTX, also, these don't even have video slots lol.

an HD 2600 is better than a 8600 fyi, if you spend aprox 20 more you can get a HD 3870(Other than the 9600GT there is no good cheap nvidia card)

no. the 2600 doesnt even have dx10 support. imo nvidia is OP. go ati.

those are 2 good ones. if you get them be shure to get the latest drivers.

the X2 series are good if you can get one. they have 2 gpu's on one card
