Re: Graphics card for PC (was: Monitor Choice Poll)

You shouldn't have to "hire a professional" to buy a damned video
card...but...you DO need to read as many reviews as possible, and then talk
to people with experience using the card you're interested in...only because
the PC manufacturers and the publications are so in bed together that it's
hard to find unbiased reviews.

And, if you do "hire a professional", you have to deal with that person's
biases and often huge ego problems and supercilious attitude...as we all
know by now.
