I get to replace my video card. Long story. I've compared the Graphic card capabilities on the thread here and it seems that to get the latest shader support I should look for either an Nvidia FX5700 based card, or a Radeon 9600 based card. Any advice on which is going to give me the best shader support? Least chance for disaster?
The box is an Asus motherboard and an Intel 2.4 processor with 1G of RAM.
