So, opinions...

Which is better. An ATI video card or an nVidia one?

Render (I'm assuming Bryce or some other program) is relatively inconsequential in this regard.

GeForce (an nVidia chipset) is where it is. As Paco says, the 8800+ is king of the hill right now, and will be for the forseeable future (i.e., six months).

PCI Express is a must. Much faster than AGP. Of course, you probably can't find a new Dell with AGP. And stay the fuck away from integrated graphics.


One thing you might wish to consider is piecing together a computer and seeing what you can get.

When I get home tonight, I'll see about slapping one together via NewEgg, to see what the prices are like.
