Hey, I am going to soon buy parts and assemble myself a new pc. Im going to have a motherboard with a nforce2 chip in it, so i was wondering if it would be better to get a nvidia card with the nvidia chipset, or to go with a 9800.

Thanks,
tim

LOL this is no comparison, the chipset doesn't matter, well only on the Nforce3 250, but since you don't have that the 9800pro will beat the sh*t out of the 5900xt in every single way. Except OpenGL but that's another story.
