i think we scared illu away
Seriously, it looks like there was/is an FX5500 chipset but the fact that it's omitted from nVidia's list is a bad omen IMO - Most likely the chipset was created but has since been discontinued (which would show why some sites show it but most don't at all). Either way, I ain't gonna risk it
Which means that the main choice is still PNY's Verto GeForce FX 5200. Any others that could be [more/just as] suitable? (Feel free to recommend cards with price tags going towards £40 above the Verto's price if you guys want )
Though I have to admit that the thread has been mainly about the nVidia GeForce FX (not that I'm complaining, being an nVidia fan and all ), but it's always worth looking what else is available . I'm going to have a look at the ATI equivalents - Anyone got any recommendations on the ATI front? [/b][/quote]
ATI equivelent to Nvidia is 9200 i think. you could take a look at them.
Next step up (other than the discontinued 9500 and posibly discontinued 5500) are the FX5600 and the radeon 9600. id take a look at these cards too see if they are in your price range, but over here in canada the price of a 5600 or 9600 and a lot higher than the 5200 and 9200 are.
I would get the 9600 over the 5600. I dont exactly know whats going on though cuz i didnt read all the pages.

Have fun boys, Drivers Ed is hell, I remember the days...
For me, it was 3 9 hour days of pure hell lol
you just sit there and listen to some idiot telling you it's bad to go off the road, well no shit! I didn't really learn anything....
but I passed my actual test quite easily, because the driving time they give you (i got 8 hours) was actually good and you learned stuff
so I only lost 7 points on my test, when you have to lose 45 to fail!
but yeah, drivers ed really sucks, but you end up saving a lot of money on insurance, so it's worth it
and yeah get your parents to call in for you bigdawg, they usually take adults more seriously anyway

ur in canada right kai?
here (canada) we do a writing test and then we have a g1 license which means we can drive with someone who has had a full license for more than 4 years. we attend driving school while we have the G1 and then go do ou r G2 test after 8 months. amd then we get our final test 8 months after that.
what is ur system like bigdawg?
that's a lot more complicated then our system, and i'm from canada as well! i'm from NS
in NS, you write your beginners test and you take drivers ed, then you wait 3 months and take your full test, then you have your "newly classed" drivers license, where you cans till drive by yourself, but theres rules, like you have to be off the roads by midnight, then you wait 2 years and you don't have to do a test or course or anything, you just get your actual full licence
