Man, with only 512MB of memory, you really get shafted. Then again, these tests aren't much useful, since any gamer with a video card powerful enough to run Company of Heroes at 2048x1536 4xAA surely has at least 1GB of RAM, if not way more. We'll see how things fare once better drivers and some real DX10 games come out. At that point, who knows that performance might even be faster than with DX9? I'm pretty partial to the Vista Business Edition myself. Must be my economics classes swaying me.

I only just bought a X1300EV... with my Sempron 3100+, at least my pc is Doom3-capable. At high quality, I mean. It's also Vista Ready, so I don't have any problem with it right now, and anyway I don't intend on spending more than a PS3 just on a video card.
