You don't install your own hardware?? You pay someone to do it??

You mean that he should look if there is AGP/PCIexpress slot in the compute before he purchase computer. Friend of mine just purchased 64MB card for 10 bucks for his eMachine (worst type of computers IMHO). For him even integrated card he has been using past 4 yeas was sufficient enough to play Warcraft 3 and C&C games. Kind a behind, don't you think.
I think it is the best to wait, as prices are going down... :amused:
ps. Just for info, my 4 year old laptop has 32MB and new laptop has 128MB on the board. (not shared, but it's own separated memory in both cases) If you can get one that does not share the memory - then better, but even if you can't, today most of computers have very fast memory.
