    With the games you say you play not for awhile.

    My PC is not a gaming PC in the sense that does not have a GPU that will run games in playable frame rates, other than that is a DX11 GPU that will run any game in any setting

    Was xbox 360 based on a 9800 pro of 2003 ?

    No, it was based on a 8800GTX of 2006

    When almost all lcd's only have 1000:1 or less static ratio. It helps to have higher dynamic contrast.
    It rarely works well, you just end up with brightness fluctuating horribly which is incredibly distracting. At least it is to me.

    Yes, it is really do it !

    I know how you feel, I have a Dell Latitude D600 and it uses windows xp which is very slow. Plus in my house the wireless connection is very slow.

    That's good so what kind of games could I run after getting the better video card? By the way thanks a lot for all the help you've been given me.
