Very much! I've had to disable the music and just have my own soundtrack selection playing in the background. Way too much silence otherwise.

I agree. In its current form it's worthless.

I have to say, hearing this really pisses me off...

Yep, both need fixed badly. Also how full auto will sometimes trigger but do nothing.

I doubt it, it was a really nice upgrade from my hd4200 onboard I had a while back. If you plan on gaming at 1920x1080 be sure to get the 1gb version. But lag can also be from other sources. I'm guessing most or all of your issues would go away though. Edit: BTW, I had the Asus version of the 240. Seemed the best buy (price/quality).

Graphics card. I'm running it nice and smooth on a GTX 460 Hawk I got during the Christmas sales last year. It can be found for not much over $100 now. Just avoid the SE version of the 460 if you can. Your cpu will be the bottleneck at that point though so it might be too much of a card unless you plan on upgrading your cpu later. Also make sure you have a powerful enough powersupply to run the card. If you want to take the safe bet, you might want to get something like a GT 240. Dirt cheap and you won't need to worry about your powersupply.

Nah he's right; it should be doing a lot better then it is because it was even in beta before they went insane with the category options and also removed it from most of the other planets. The GTN was very busy before this change. After, the items/verity and sales were at least cut in half. It does not mean you can't make money as you can very well, just not nearly as much as if they had made changes in the best interest of the economy.
