OK first off to the Mods: There will be no pissing matches in this thread!
To all else: There will be no pissing matches in this thread. Got it!?!

The deal:
I may be receiving as a gift the ability to purchase a new machine. I have read that most folks think an i7 is a but much, and by the time the coding folks catch up the software with the hardware, the hardware will be old!

The machine will be general use (generally used for POSER! :) ) but other things as well and I have no idea when I'll be able to get a new machine. Ol' Besty (my current machine AMD 64 2800+ 1.8GHz 1.5Gb RAM) is fine, but I need more juice. I'm narrowing parts down and have come to the video card portion of the program.

So ATI or NVIDIA??

Please some good suggestions and reasonable reasons please.
(Also If you really think an i7 IS TOO MUCH then please suggest away. This new machine may be it for the foreseable future. If you have some suggestions then please SITEMAIL me to keep the Mods happy and this OT message ON topic.).

Thank you my fellow Poserites! (Posers? Poserians?)
