mainly because of Quake 4 and Bf2 and being fed up of not being able to play game demo's cos it craps out on me.
What do you recommend?
I'm probably gonna see if i can pick up a good nvidia from ebay but it never hurts to get some advice :)

I think nV is the way for Doom-based games to be honest...
