System Specs

i have a powercolor 9800pro and is quite happy with it.its been my best card yet.allthough they are not on atis supported list.

don't want to put yopu off but i have seen a few peaple who have had faults with this brand.

memorys perhaps a little slower than others unless you improve the cooling on it i don't think it overclocks too well.

my 3dmark 2k3 is.5446.
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=1561108

but i have also seen one or two reveiws giving the 9800pro a reasonable score.
