I am currently using, the completely bottom of the line ATi Radeon 9550. The sad bare minimum of minimums in graphic processing standards. Its about 4 years old now, doesn’t even have a GPU lol

Anyway, I’m looking at the ATi Radeon 512MB X1900XT because I want the best graphics card (though the XTX is a tweak better, value for money is with XT) and I think I deserve it having have collected the money and living with this 9550 junk for an eternity by computing standards. =)

However, my burning question is, is now a good time? ATi Radeon is currently developing their new R600 line of cards scheduled for a Q4, Q1 or Q2 release. Though it is still DirectX 9, these cards are as revolutionary in design and capacity as the Core 2 Duo is compared to Pentium chips.

Ofcourse, there is the future DirectX 10 cards which I have yet to see/hear even rumours of development…then again, not sure if I would even want to use Windows Vista or not =( Help people…? lol
If you don’t know f*** shit about computing, I suggest you bugger off cause obviously, it wouldn’t take a genius to know that you’d have to actually have KNOWLEDGE in this topic before shooting off your mouth like the malau bodoh chibai tiu nya ßØ®ΜĄĦ.

However, I will rephrase my question: I’ve got an ATi Radeon 9550. I’m going to chuck it out and upgrade to an ATi Radeon X1900XT. Is now a good time though?
I’m building a new computer from scratch. My sister’s getting this junk I have now =) 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB PC-6400 XMS RAM, a good Gigabyte motherboard, 320GB HDD, etc. etc. Graphics card is all I’ve got to decide on. Hope that helps

With ati radeon 9250 can i use windows vista Aero?

I was wondering since I heard that some hardware that will be released next year would help, like for example: ATI and nVidia are going to release DirectX 10 (new in Windows Vista) video cards next year, etc…

I would like to purchase the Dimension 5150 from Dell. and i customized it a little. Because i ungraded to the ATI Radeon X300 SE HyperMemory (128MB) video card, does that mean i do not have to add on a tv tuner. Because normally they just give u an integrated graphics card and an option to add on a tv tuner.

How do you get windows Vista beta 2 MCE TV tuner to work with an ATI AIW X600 Pro?
