true, you could probably extend the
eu life of the pc a little further with a grafix hit. but i think the cards in the 30 dollar range are not going to cut it. you can get an 8600 agp for about 120 and im sure there are a few in the 80 to 100 dollar range that will play
eu. not sure about when the new engine comes.
600 dollars may do the trick, i would build it yourself. vista is not mandatory at all, things will look fine in dx9 in xp. Im sticking with xp for a while.
