Yeah, that's right, according to CGM it sounds like a Hairdryer when running, and it's overpricved, stick with the T Line from NVidia, as for the Radeon Cards, AVOID they're toof ar ahead of ther time tot ake advantage fo wahts out there, and they have driver problems with lots of PCs, ATI is good in a consol like the GCN for the reason their bad on PCs. They're so far ahead of the game that there next new card won't be able to tap it's full potential for two years, good for a console, abad fora PC when the Nvidia cards are running just fine wioth today's hardware and don't need to be anymore souped up, oh and if you like LOUD graphics cards, let me know how your GeForce FX sounds wjhen you get it, bvecause form what I'm hearing I'll need earplugs to block the sound coming from one of those monstrocities.

I've had issues weith ATI when researching parts for people so now it's all NVidia unless it's iun a game console in which case it's ATI.
heh... I like my Radeon 9700 pro to be ahead of its time... I also like running UT2K3 with max graphics settings I also like the fact that it came with my computer... (i am sad to say that you cannot order a computer from eMachines with the 9700pro in it anymore) I am quite sure that when i do finally replace this computer (after college, seeing as once i go to college i will not be able to keep working the hours i do now and will be broke) I will be taking my video card out and putting it into my new computer (yea, right , who am i kidding... in four years there will probably be intel integrated cards with the capabilities matching this thing... as the wheels of obsolescence turn... )

I'm disappointed to say that the three desktop units availible from emachines website ( http://www.emachines.com/products ) as of the time I am writing this use intel Extreame video chipsets and Celeron processors, but happy to see that their laptop uses Athalon XP-M and Radeon IGP 320M .
