WOW - New Graphics Card or more RAM?

[Tharn]

I have a VERY old 15" monitor that still, miracuously, works (albeit not the best at times - tapping the cable has a tendency to throw all the color guns out of whack :P)

On your place, I would not think twice and buy some 19"+ LCD or CRT. It will greatly improve your overall experience with the computer (even more when you're not gaming). Once you experience larger screen, there's no way going back :) .

Just look - you have 6800 card, which can comfortably handle games at 1600x1200, maybe with AA&AF too, but your 15" monitor can't display more than 1024x768 wihtout text beeing too small or your eyes too close* - can I say, imbalance?

So I would put my money there.

*screen should be at arm length from you
