Thanks Strife.
I did a major upgrade just about 2 years ago, mobo+CPU+RAM+Vid card. I went for some near top of the line stuff that I was able to get pretty cheap at the time, an i7 with an beefy fan for overclocking, 8 gigs of RAM, and a Radeon 5870 vid card. My HD was from a previous upgrade the year before and still holds up well with plenty of speed for a spinner and plenty of room for Windows to operate.
Of all the upgrades, I'm most dissapointed with my Vid Card. It works well enough now, but I had thoughts about picking up a second card, when/if the prices ever fell, to get a nice bump in performance without spending too much or too much of a hassle. There's no way I'm going to waste the money on a dual card set-up now considering how fast the newest cards are and how much of a pain in the ass the latest drivers are for the AMD card.
So, there we are. I should be thinking about an SSD drive because that's where my bottleneck is but I'm thinking about another vid card instead.
