New video card

So in my ever-going quest to make my computing more "I don't want to think about it", I've gotten tired of the shoddy suppose ATI puts into its Linux drivers, so I've started browsing over the recent Nvidia cards. On a whim I purchased a GeForce FX 5700 from Fry's but it turns out that card's worse than my current Radeon 9700. I'm now under the impression I should just suck up and drop $450 into a GeForce 6800 256MB. Assuming that card doesn't have anything wrong with it (like my last "suck it up and deal & buy an expensive card" GeForce4 Ti), this card should last me a good two or three years. After all, all I really play is World of Warcraft. I think, with some money I get for my upcoming birthday & Christmas, I'll dump into a new, top o' the line graphics card. And hopefully my monitor isn't dying any time soon, since I won't be able to get a LCD. Too many toys, so little money.
In other news, I've gotten a GNOME CVS account, so I'll be able to start hacking on gtk-engines and gnome-themes (Glider). Gotta get control over my mailing lists again though, 150 unread messages in desktop-devel-list... too much to do. And work takes up too much of my time. Its not fair.
