that

i have a 9100 128MB and can play most games at their highest res with no
problems without over clocking (ghost recon, battlefield 1942, warcraft
III, ect).  i did a quick search but couldn't find crap on real geek
specs on the nvidia cards.  :(  i think it's pretty cool you might try
it though.  please email me with what happens if you do.  eric.
