May be that the world will still be there after 2012. but would be a shame to spend money for nothing. I am waiting 2013 to be sure before buy new hardware. ;)

Thanks Prodigy :). Oh my goodness, my old geforce 6600 ended in the computer of
a friend of a friend, as a giveaway. Wow, and truespace works ok on it?
Not bad....

I'm impressed that you could keep it working so long, I fried two computers
since then. I hope the current one lasts longer :).

This is the first graphics card I've had with really nice cooling pipes on it.
Maybe I should go watch a movie on the computer.

Marcel, it's ok about 2012, it's been disproved...I saw a documentary about that.
But in the meantime, here's an article:

great buy...iam planning 5870 as soon as i will get some money. along with phenomII istead of phenomI and more ram... its needed. ATI/AMD rulez ;)
I used to work on athlon64 with 1gig RAM, some year and half ago and radeon HD2600 XT in agp. It worked too. But slow compared to my current PC.
