If you're wanting to play the newest games, make sure the card, is supported by your motherboard.

which is eaither PCI, AGP or PCI-E.

For the newest games, use a 7800 GTX, or a 7900.. if money isn't a issue 7950 is a great card

The 7 Series cards by nvidia utilize Pixle Shader 3.0, HDR and a bunch of other cool features.

ATI has cards equivlent to it though, however I am biased for Nvidia.

Crossfire is a joke anyways. lol
