That's not really what I meant. I just meant in general...if I am buying an "average" microwave oven for $90, I can buy a "great" microwave oven for only $30 more. I might as well spend the money. That's usually my philosophy on these types of purchases.--------------------------------------Mine as well!Now off for a flight to Mackinaw Island. There is a great eye-candy approach over the bridge and on towards the numbers... :) See ya up in the F.S. sky...Mitch

>An ATI 1950 Pro 256MB PCI-E Video Card>Which brand? I find these 1950 Pro from Sapphire , GeCube and Asus. Also a question here what would be the corresponding NVIDIA card regarding performence. BTW why did you choose ATI over NVIDIA?

I read the specs on the Sapphire, and it seems to be a good part. I imagine though that the other two you mention are as well. Pick one with the longest/best warranty, I guess.I'd also order the 512 MB part if you want to run FSX with it.Cheers!
