Lets face it - 4000 points per day from an $80 video card ... wow.

Any of these cards blow my older ATI away. It may be time for an upgrade.

Guys -- be aware -- verify that your Power Supply will handle the added load, or you will find out that Lucas Electrics isn't the only company that relies on keeping the smoke in the circuits to maintain operation.       ;^)

yeah.. I have a 450 Watts PSU. I believe that should be enough. I don’t run a lot of peripherals.

Ah, the voice of experience!
Yes, it’s amazing how poorly electronics fare when you let out that “magic smoke”...
