Thumbs up My 9500pro has arrived .....

and since I upgraded from a radeon 32mb ddr board I love the change.
Earth and Beyond looks great with everything maxed and as soon as I get a little more time I'm going to find out what American McGee's Alice looks like with full AA .
One of the games under the tree will be Morrowind and I really want to see how that one will run.
I used to have a problem with my DVDs running a little dark, well, I don't have that problem anymore.
If you wanted a new Radeon and held back because you only had a KT 133 or 133A board go out and buy it.
My only regret, now, is that I didn't save up a few more bucks and get the 9700.

Hey pam, would you be so kind to tell me how's Morrowind when you get to play it?

I've heard that only ATis can render the water effects in that game the way designers wanted them to look. So I'm considering an ATi VC for this new machine I just put together. I'm using a GF3 Ti200 now and I want to replace it ASAP.

I know that nVidia GF FX is on the way, but it won't be out until spring and it'll came out very pricey though. So I want to give ATi a shot.
