i'm worried about my paypal security. all thats required is my email address and password to send money from my account. if my details are captured by keyloggers, i may lose a lot of money. i'm already using AVG and Spyware doctor.

i'm wondering if there's another layer of security thats already in place or applicable for me?

I've just bought an old game from E-bay, only to find out it doesn't run on Windows XP. I thought all modern p.c.'s would be backwards compatible? If not, is there any software I can use to play it?

For anyone who knows, it says: 95/98/98se/Me compatible. This game is not compatible with Windows 2000 Pro.

I have a PCI-E socket before anyone asks.

I play a few games, such as need for speed carbon, f.e.a.r, football manager and some online games such as runescape.

I just want a fairly cheap graphics card which has enough power to keep me going with that card for a few years.

So whats better, ATi OR nVidia?

And for what i want a graphics card for, what would suffice me perfectly?

I have a £60-£70 budget (Approx. $120-140USD.)

I have looked at dx10 cards such as the nVidia 8600 range, and thr dx10 ATi cards such as the HD2600 range.

I have also looked at the ATi x1950 range of cards, and would one of these 3 cards i mentioned be ok...

the 1950 is more expensive, and i dont kno if i need it to be that good.

Thanks.
I have also looked at the nVidia dx9 cards around the price but can only find the 7600 range, which according to the latest custompc magazine it says it cant handle modern games very well.
