finally gave in and ordered myself a fancy new video card last week. i had an old TNT2 that i just never got around to replacing, but the last straw finally came last week, when i couldn't play the new NOLF2 demo on my machine with anything close to acceptable framerates, and the battlefield 1942 demo won't run at all (needs geforce2 and above cards). so, just to tide me over until the radeon 9700 gets cheaper, and doom3 comes out, i should be fragging with reckless abandon with my new card, at least as soon as it gets here.
