Okay, you guys are gonna hate me.
It is way too late to make this a future tense proposition.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Okay, you guys are gonna hate me.  I bought this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150396

It was $55 w/ free shipping. 

So far, it seems to fit my needs perfectly.  I just need to dig out that extra DVI cable I had somewhere :unsure:
the 9800GT would have been nearly twice as fast.  But also twice the price.

If it fits your need, then it's a good card.   I won't hate you.  This time.  :D
I don't do meditation.  I drink alcohol to relax, like normal people.

If Microsoft Excel decided to stop working overnight, the world would practically end.

If Newegg had dropped some of those to $79 a couple weeks ago (rather than just now), I would have gone for one. 

Then again, I need that PCI slot the 9800 card would have blocked, so maybe it's for the best.  And so far, the ATI 4650 has fit my needs.
