Just did a quick check -- if you have a x1900gt, it appears to be a faster card than the x1950gt. Going to an x1950gt is not really an upgrade in raw power. I think the only reasons to go with the x1950gt are availability or built in/easier bridge for sli application.

off the top of my head, I doubt it is $120 better. If you have a game that is unplayable or marginal with the 1900, then investigate benchmarks for the 1950 with that game to see if it would help. I can't imagine it would turn a bad game experience into a good one, but I am not staring at the...

"I can't discredit how great the new offerings look. For the first time, I'm actually considering getting an iPod in the months to come." Just wait a bit, it will wear off. Read some propaganda about the latest Samsung and Creative toys. You'll soon realize that, unless you are addicted to...

I have had good luck going low (~$150) and haven't really had to upgrade more often. Picked up a 1950gt earlier in the year for around $125, expect it to last two years, but if it lasts more, that is gravy. I like having less resistance when I do want to upgrade. The fact is that I can play...

When I played BF2 on XP64 about 2 years ago, i knew I was giving up some performance in order to try the os. There were a number of benchmarks clearly demonstrating performance penalty for gaming (at least with BF2) under XP64. I don't know where they are, but they are out there. That said...
