UT3 is also pretty good, runs beaut on even a low-tier system.
Crysis? Ahem, lol. Enjoy spending over $3000 just to stay close to 50 fps at a decent resolution on mostly high settings.

CoD4 and UT3 are really all I play.

I have a PC on my 46" LCD TV. It copes pretty well with the demanding stuff, but I am looking to get something with a meatier video card.

ATI 4850 1gb, or a 216SP GTX260 1GB.
If you're thinking of a little less dorrah, go for the 4830.

Operation Flashpoint.

pushing 10 years old now, but a great game.

1 shot = death.

Crap, haven't played CoD 5 yet... might have to finally look at upgrading my pair of 7950GT

Sucks when you have three screens... you have to buy gfx cards in pairs

thats why I just dont play games on pc, you may lose some game play but why spend so much when you can get an 360 for $350, and cod 4 is my favorite, didn't like 5

Yes these are good cards but I don't think I can get what I would like in a half height slot; hence I was going to use this as an opportunity to upgrade the box.

Because an xbox can't handle 3 screens, programming, software, and almost 3tb of hard drive space in raid.

My brother also had 3 xbox 360 fail on him...

Quakelive is working now - http://www.quakelive.com/

Short version: quake 3, cleaned up marginally and made into a browser plug-in - the whole game runs in a kinda social network thing. Being old code, low poly models etc it goes like a rocket on even medium/low-end hardware. Oh, and it's free.

There are people on there appear to have been playing more or less constantly for the ten years q3 has been out and hence are

good but the games are skill level matched. I've not been playing for a few years and hence suck badly. See you there
