The new vid card came in yesterday (yay)! Had to install Omega drivers since ATI drivers don't work when using the 2600xt and AGP.

My old Radeon 9800pro had large heatsinks, noisy fans, was rather large (took two slots), and cost about 400. The new one uses one slot, heatsink/fan is much smaller, is easily 2X-3X faster than the old one (judging by game play at high res and AA and AF turned on), the GPU/mem heat up less, has an HDTV output, and was about 4x less money. I'm very happy with this! Thanks to all for your recommendations!
