Nimetski, to go back to your Anti-geforce addiction, yes its true the NV30 sucked, but the NV35 worked well. The Geforce 4 however (which you claim to run), As far as I know, worked fine, and non of my friends, who also play WC3, are angry with it (untill they see my card).

Problem is your side buddy.

i´m getting a complete system. i´m too stupid to build it together myself.

i´m not so sure about that gig of ram. i´ve got 128 in my old 800MHz Athlon and it´s actually doing almost fine. it starts getting shaky when i use a lot of paricle systems, too many light sources or raytrayce materials, but in general it´s all right. at least for modelling.
Trust me, you need at least a gig of RAM. In one scene I did I couldn't even render because I needed more RAM. RAM is the most important thing you can get, more so then a video card. You can always hide parts of your scene while modelling, but you can't solve that problem during rendering, unless you set up layering.[/img]
