graphical shenanigans
so ive decided to build myself a pc *gasp* so i can do my 3ds max work and make music etc. but gawd.... graphics cards are a nightmare. ive decided to get an AMD 2800 or 3000 processor and 512mb RAM... but the whole video card thing is tying me in knots. >_<
i just want something cheap but that does the job properly in 3ds max 6. so there's ATI and nVidia, but then there's people who make the cards like sapphire. and then there's the fact that i HATE the colour red with a passion [yes - looking at the multitudes of graphics cards does reduce me to complete colour facism]. ohhhhhhhh. :(
i guess i should go fish around in communities asking for advice... but bleh...
so do any of you guy's think you could enlighten me at all? cuz at the moment im considering just plumping for the prettiest blue budget card i can find and hoping for the best... and i can't stand the thought of allowing myself to give in to such an ill-informed decision.... *sighs*
