More info?)
I don't think you will be able to tell a difference between these two cards
at 1024x768.
And if you have a slow CPU then the CPU will be the limiting factor.
And if they perform pretty much the same then yeah it is time to look at
things like:
(a) which is more quiet? (dunno)
(b) which consumes more power? (nVidia)
(c) which creates more heat? (?)
(d) price (neck & neck?)
and the most important to me...
(e) which has the newer technology that will last longer into the future
with the next generation of games starting to come out now? (nVidia)
