Yes, the 9600XT and the 9800XT have overclocking based on temperature, but the reviews I read did not find the feature that exciting. I'm not so much looking for an upgrade at this time as an improved replacement. If the GeForce had not died I would have held out for at least another cycle.
I run DII in 2D all the time. I think it looks better than 3D, and why do people want the screen to go green when they are poisoned? On this computer (dual PIII 1.4, with the Radeon 8500) I get typically 60 fps, though it sometimes goes down to 4. Shenk is always a problem but this machine has 4 gig of memory. I'm not sure why more RAM would matter too much to DII? The other machine (with the old GeForce) gives/gave a maximum of about 40 fps, but it was more consistent.
Does anyone else recall that Blizzard *promised* OpenGL support for DII, and then offered it only for the Mac?
