I'd go for image quality at a lower resolution rather than just sheer resolution... if you want both size and quality it'll cost you. A lot of games cant even recognize a resolution that high.

Graphically tough? If a 6800 cant handle it, you can bet that a GF2 would choke on it. That said, yes the 4200 and the PCI GF2 would work together.

Part of it is the baby boomers, who are getting past 60 years old and want to relive the glory days of their youth (and have the money to do so). I dont deny that the Mustang and Challenger are great looking cars, but I wouldnt be caught dead in one on principle alone.
