Is there a tangible reason for your NVIDIA preference?

I have looked through some of the specs for upper end video, and the rotten truth is that I get lost in the terms and values for them. That's why I am looking for somebody that USES one or another and can say 'why' they prefer...

Now... if this machine did have AGP, I still own a couple V5's... but for all they did on a '98SE machine with Falcon 4 and F/A-18, I bet they stink for SH4 !!

I did some research and based off of the X1300 I believe that you have a PCI-E x16 slot.
I perfer Nvidia (and this is my personal preference) because
#1 there chipsets have been performing a littel better than their ATi counterpart.
#2 you cannot beat Nvidias drivers and driver supports they simply take the cake
#3 My favorite Nvidia chipset maker is BFG because they have very good tech support and some cards have lifetime warranties.

here is the card I suggest for you.
