I am setting up my 1024x768 DLP projector in my bedroom as a video and pc media center. I have never been much of a gamer- but have enjoyed Castle Wolfenstein and the like in the past.
Since the PJ is limited to 1024x768 resolution @ 60 or 72hz, I'm wondering if getting the "top of the line" unit is worthwhile. I'd love to play some of the newer games people are into (Halflife 2, Splinter Cell, Sims2, Farcry, Doom3, etc)-- and would like to get the absolute highest quality possible out of these types of games at this resolution and frame rate.
Any suggestions on what card I should look into? I figured I'd get an ATI (note, I need VGA since th PJ has no DVI) and set up a dual boot Xp system- one for media like DVD and whatnot... and one for Gaming. Again, just didn't think it was worth the time to just buy the top 9800 if I didn't need it.
