I bought Crucial Technology's version of the Radeon 9800 Pro video card and I have to say anyone would love one of these as a gift.
The new suite of Radeon cards marks ATI's return to the lead in the video card wars, fought primarily with nVidia. With 128 MB of on-board quad-channel DDR memory, this thing rocks in online gaming. I ended up exceeding 180 frames per second in the original Unreal Tournament - compare that with 30 fps with my original card and 100 with with a 64 MB nVidia.
The card itself is a thing of beauty, with a variable-speed fan and gleaming heat sink. It installed easily and configured itself. I downloaded the latest drivers from ATI after installation and since then have been slaughtering innocents in various online games ever since.
This card needs a fairly beefy PC to function well. It needs so much power that it requires a separate power connection inside the PC case, and the maker recommends a 300-watt power supply. But assuming you have the horsepower, this thing will make a gamer's day, for sure.
