Series 8XXX video card? Do you mean like the old 8500 or the x800? The x800s are/can be fast enough, but I am sure glad I upgraded to a PCI-E X1950 Pro. At least now I know I can run anything out there (until next year probably....how sad).
My friend has the Xbox 360, it looks great but what I don't like about it is that you have to use the joy pad to aim and stuff. With a pc mouse I can aim at a knee cap if I want too (which I do), whereas I find with the game pad it is incredibly hard to get a specific shoot spot.
This is where i show my lack of nouce about modern PC gear, the card the system i'm looking at is an nVidia 8600GT or 8800GTX PCI-E , i thought they where the latest nVidia cards....whats an x800 or x1950 when it's at home ?
