Well, at least my monitor hasn't exploded yet. LOL

Nvidia's latest and greatest actually brought my scores DOWN on WEI from
3.1/2.5 to 3.1/2.4 (GeForce 7300 LE). More importantly, it feels even more
sluggish.

HP cheaped out on the video card. OK, nevermind -- I cheaped out on the PC
:-} But, all the other scores are 5.0 and up with CPU at 5.0, HD at 5.4 and
mem at 5.9.

Can anyone spell ATI? <wink>
