I do have my eye on the X800 series of ATI cards. The problem is I built my system around PCI-Express sockets, so I have no available AGP sockets and Newegg's selection of PCI-E X800 cards is not very nice.
In particular, I would go for this one: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....-121-530&depa=0
I'm not very familiar with ATI videocards though, so I don't know if that would be a good choice. Any more suggestions would be welcome.
EDIT: This card also caught my attention: http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc....121-521R&depa=0
I already spent about $400 on the nVIDIA card, so I wouldn't hesitate to spend an addtional 100 to get that card if it means my freezing problems will go away. Only thing that bothers me is that "refurbished" tag. Correct me if I am wrong, but does that mean that the card was returned?
