I just purchased an ATI Radeon HD 2400 Pro 512MB PCI-E video card in attempt to upgrade from the onboard video. I have not yet taken it out of the package. I am tempted to return it and trade it for the Nvidia Geforce 8500 or 8600. The ATI cost $60. THe 8500 is also 60 while the 8600 is 70. The onboard is fine for normal office applications. I just want to be able to play first-person shooters like Delta Force: Extreme or Call of Duty 4 in the highest graphics setting without the ratcheting-effect.

Any thoughts?

The Nvidia Geforce FX series chipset for games is anyday better than the ATI Radeon. I play Command n Conquer - TIBERIUM WARS ( very high graphics ) and I am on GeForce currently. Awesome rendering !!
 
Thank you for the info.
As soon as I finish my big mug of coffee, I'll go to the store and swap it for the Nvidia.
 
Swapped, installed, up and running, happy!
Went with the Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT for $70. I couldn't really afford to indulge more than that. Excellent graphics!
