So just on a lark, what kind of video card would I need to run BioShock at 1680x1050 with no slowdown? I've got an AMD Brisbane 4600+ dual core processor, 2 gigs DDR2 RAM, 430w PSU and an EVGA GeForce 7300 GS that is going to be replaced shortly.*********

Go for an 8600 minimum, 8800 preferred.
I've got a 4400+, 2GB, and 7800GT SLI, and I run without slowdown at all.--

Thanks. I was thinking of upgrading to either an 8600 or 8800 anyway; it mostly a matter of how much spare money I've got when I switch out the 7300.*********

FYI, the DRM in BioShock is causing
lots of screaming, both because it secretly installs the SecureROM service, and because 2K limits the number of times you can ever activate the software key, although they did just change it from 2 to 5. I'm neither a player nor interested in it, just relaying stuff that I've read. See the following for more details:

However, they've also said they'll eventually disable that, and only have it running now to kill launch day pirates.--
