Number one on my wishlist for quite some time… My Dell 30″ will be here soon! In preperation for the arrival I just received in the post my new Dual Link DVI capable graphics that I need to drive the beast. I had a dilema in purchasing this card… Two options… 1: New CPU, MB, RAM and PCI express dual link graphics card 2. New AGP based graphics card. Well I ended up buying, currently one of the best nvidia based AGP graphics cards out there, a Gainward Bliss 7800 GS 512 MB AGP. The reason was twofold; cash & I don’t think I need much more out of my machine right now or the foreseeable future.

I’m no gamer – but I brought up Half Life 2, Doom 4 and Civ 4 and they all ran astonishingly well compared to my older gainward. Civilization IV runs a hell of a lot better now in Cedega than it did in windows before. This could be dangerous!
