These cards will run SH3 on decent settings, not max out with AA or AF, but enjoyable and without too much lag. Also what are your other specs, like processor and Ram? 1Gb Ram is also advised for SH3, though 512Mb would do.

If you need more advice, feel free to ask. And once again, do not waste money on these SE/LE versions, they are not for gaming beyond tetris or the like.

I ordered an EVGA 6800GS PCI-E, (I was going to get AGP as my board has an AGP slot currently for my 6600GT agp) but since I've decided to upgrade my CPU (ordered an AMD 64 3700+) I would have to upgrade my board so common sense says switch boards to support PCI-E cards. Any suggestions for a 939 pin mobo? Asus or DFI maybe? I would like to get the most out of my graphics card. I want to stay under $150 USD if I can help it. (Also ordered 512x2 DDR SDRAM).
