Pentium D, huh? Your room was be burning.

Get a nVidia 7900 or something to that effect. Even then, Oblivion will be taxing your system. On the other hand, HL2 and CS:Source will be quite nice and I believe you'll be able to ratchet the seatings to pretty high level.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

8600 is the replacement for the 7900. I thought the 8600 was more expensive than the 7900, so I recommended the 7900. However, they are around the same price once I checked the interweb. It looks like a good card for the money.

8600 GT: ~$125
7900 GT: ~$120

Really? My suitemate's pentium d setup was burning hot at a steady 50 C without any load...

There's nowhere I can't reach.
