I subscribe to a mag called MAXIMUM PC.They just built there dream machine and the lean[price capped at a 1,000$] machine.

The dream machine was built with the ATI Radeon 9700 128MB.It was sneak peak at there newest card.It pretty much kicked butt paired with lots of memory and a P4 running at 2.85Ghz.cost 400.00$

They used the Gainward GEFporce4 powerpack! ULTRA/650XP Golden sample in the lean machine.This is the card that is going in my box.Is extremly overclockable.Cost 175 bucks.it was paired with a 1.67Ghz Athlon XP.It spoke well for itself breaking past athlon benchmarks.

I am not a gamer and am just passing on what my favorite computer rag thinks.I am building a new machine and am going to basicly build the lean machine.
