What AA settings do you use? I've got Nhancer on...but I may just set one 8* or something. I'm not sure about the differences between transparency AA and normal. I do know that supersampling is a lot more GPU intensive that multi or other such modes.

Depends entirely on the game. If it's supported, I usually try to use the new CSAA modes. I always use transparency MS, too.

CSAA is a newer efficient method of antialiasing. There's a very slight loss in quality from standard AA (which has always been very costly in terms of performance and resources) It looks great tbh. It's not lossless, but its kind of like the mp3 of antialiasing, it's much more than adaquate. One of the features that made 8800 really cool.
If you select 8 or 16 AA in the Nvidia control panel it automatically uses CSAA. I find 8x CSAA an excellent choice, or 16 CSAA for older or less demanding games
This was never possible before. For reference, I use a GTX at 1280*1024 and Im very satisfied - my min framerates are generally over 30 even in demanding scenarios. Other users obviously have different preferences. I had intended to get a bigger monitor, so I bought the GTX. However it turns out Im happy with things as they are.
Google it for the techy details, or look for one of the original 8800 reviews, AA details are all in there.
Welcome to high quality gaming
I see PS3s and xbox 360s in the shops, and they look old school to me now

Do yourself a favour and get a 24" widescreen, you know you want tobfar said:
1920x1200 is no problem for a GTX, and you'll be getting the full benefits of your card's ability. You'll be blown away by the picture quality, and wonder how you ever put up with 1280x1024

Christ I thought I was spoiled when I went to 1024*768! That was a long time ago. Can't really afford it at the moment, or at least I've earmarked the money for other things.
Besides, I don't game as much over the summer, it would be a bit of a waste.
Maybe September
