You do realize Call of Juarez has been out for a while, and has bad dx10 performance. Bioshock, of the games you listed, has great dx10 performance.Baselerd

I'm sorry, but that's just wrong. Bioshock supports Directx10, but shows little difference in appearance during gameplay as evidenced by Gamespot just this week.

Yes, Call of Juarez has been out for some time, but no, it does not have "bad dx10 performance." If you visited the site I originally referenced, you would see that visually the game is far superior to its DX9 version in appearance after the DX10 patch. It's just that DX10 cards are forced to process more graphically, making them seem slower than the DX9 cards than cannot support DX10 at all.

After multiple disappointing Directx10 performances from Lost Planet, Bioshock, and Company of Heroes, maybe Directx10 has some merit after all. Does this mean I actually have to upgrade to Vista and a new card after all?

i'll give u the obvious big 3, super metroid, super mario world, and legend of zelda a link to the pasthan_186

Let me rephrase that, Super Mario World, Mario Kart, and F-Zero are the only games I have played on the SNES. I was thinking about Actraiser. Anyone else? I'll turn this into a poll, later.

Thank you both, I hope a few newbies like me can learn from my mistakes. ;)

I just posted about this on my Gamespot blog. There you will find a comprehensive list of all the parts you will need to build a PC, videos, images, and instructions.

Best of luck on your own build.

I am writing a guide to building a PC in my blog. I would be grateful to anyone with time or interest to comment on its accuracy and usefulness (just leave any comments in the blog).

A pre-emptive thanks!
