Well, I have no idea about ATI, so can't answer that
But yes, generally you look at both the series and at the suffix (LE, GT, GTS, GS, and what not)

Re: New PC (finally)
Tell her you need it to run word better. Or convince her with the flashy new Vista (even though I think anyone would agree downgrading to XP would be better)
How many computers do you have at home though, if only one, then you can LAN up. If two, you got a home proxy now.

That's an old card, considering the recently released ones from both nVidia and AMD/ATI.
It seems the best card for your money is the Radeon 4850, at 200USD or less.

Also, I would seriously question the need for a quad-core CPU. Unless you're doing video encoding, it's hard to see where the cost/benefit thingy would work there. A speedy dual-core is likely to give you much more love ...
Gimme two fast cores and a good video card, and I'm ready to rock.
Re: New PC (finally)
Ok then. Would this system be worth the 150 € more they ask for it?
Operating System : Windows Vista Home Premium
CPU : Intel Core2Duo E8400 (3.0Ghz)
Case : Aopen QF50J
Motherboard : Intel Dragontail Peak
RAM : DDR2 4GB
Hard drive : WD 500GB (7200rpm)
DVD Burner : DVDR+-RW+R9 SATA
Video card : GeForce 8800GT 512Mb PCI-E
Lan : 10/100/1000 Mbps
Sound : Audio 7.1 HD Audio
CardReader : All In One
Keyboard/Mouse : Logitech Cordless Desktop EX 110
To me it doesn't, as when I look at the prices of seperate pieces, the Intel Core2Duo E8400 (3.0Ghz) comes 20 € cheaper and the GeForce 8800GT 512Mb PCI-E only at 100 € more expensive, which makes a difference of 80 € instead of 150 €. Also, I don't need the Keyboard/Mouse, since I already have that.
I'm tempted to try to bargain with the guy, but on the other hand, it's no longer really a local shop like it used to be, they are part of a chain now and the PC's they offer are pre-assembled, but I'm not willing to let them rip me of.
