Could you guys give me an idea of a comparison between these 2 chips? Oh, and this is one of those things where money doesn't matter.

Yeah, I agree on the 8800gts 320mb's. They are down to us$270 on newegg, which is starting to make them look pretty appealing. And by the time you've saved for a card, they may well be even lower.

I don't see a price listed for the AMD setup. Thats always a factor... for me anyway.

Allright, thanks, this really is a gaming rig above all else. How is the radeon 2600 HD as far as gaming is concerned?

I see these up on newegg, DX10 cards for as low as say.. 115 or so. Obviously you're going to spend a LOT more on a 8800, and I was wondering how far ofd a step down the 8600. Now, Im kind of lost as far as ATI cards, as I haven't bought one in a year or two, but I would be willing to get a new...

Really, that system is complete overkill for what your using it for. My roomate runs an Athlon64 3000 with a gig of DDR333 and a geforce 7300, and he can run CSS at pretty close to full framerate on maxxed settings(That may be without HDR tho, I'm not sure). Anyway, just go with the cheaper...

I have to go with the AMD on this one, though with such use as "using Vista just for the internet and watching DVDs" They are both MORE than adequate. But for the sake of effeciency, I would recomend the 64bit chip for Vista, because if M$ makes good on their promises about whats to come in...

What do you guys think of oil cooling? I read an article on vegetable oil cooling that was pretty neat(cant think of the link, google it). Now my roomate is considering trying mineral oil cooling. Like having his entire system emerge in it. It sounds pretty neat, and he's allready ordered a...

Well, I could come up with another geforce 7300, just pull one from my SLI cause I am NOT using this rig for gaming nearly as much as I should. But I just dont think sims2 should take that much.

Ok, so heres the situation, I'm building my gf an extremely budget computer to run Sims 2 on. I've never played the game, and I'm personaly offended by it(just had to throw that in). So first, here's the relevant parts of the build. Mobo:BIOSTAR GEFORCE 6100-M9 Socket 939 Ram:1 gig o'...

I just wanted some information on how important these are to a systems performance. Im building a new gaming rig, and Im trying not to spend a lot of money on it.You can get a lot of mobos with a ULI or VIA northbridge much cheaper than say, a NF4 northbridge. When I find a deal that has that...

My laptop is a toshiba satelite with a 1.3 celeron in it. When I first got it, I couldnt play any games at all on it, then I upgraded from 256mbs of ram up to 768 cause best buy had a sale. Now I can get it to run WoW perfectly, and I can get it to run CSS(but not half life 2.. strange). CSS...

when I set the jumper to cmos clear the system doesnt even start up, thats what really bugs me. On athlon system when you set the jumper to clr_cmos it turns on, beeps, has no output. But on this one if you set it to clear nothing happens. no lights come on, nothing spins, it doesnt open rifts...

I just got this new setup, all ordered off newegg. Its a k7 pc chips board and a duron 1.8 When I first got it all setup I would turn it on and it would start up, then the screen would suddenly go blank. After I tried a few things I realized the fan wasnt spinning. so I put a new fan in...

Yeah, but given the trading and scrounging involved its really unfortunate we wont be able to do this repeatedly, since things seem to be going well. For some reason my mom always has some leftover pc parts, nothing major, ya know, spare ide cables, cd drives, maybe an old case or 2, but shes...

I have 2 main computers that I use for gaming, so that when people come over they can game with me. This is one of them... CPU: Athlon 64 3000(venice) Mobo: ECS RS480-M RAM: 768 mbs DDR400 Video Card: PCIX Radeon X600 series It runs extremely nicely, and I put it together for under $400...

That would be about... 350 american? That sounds great to me, it would be enough of a kickstart to get my next project up and rolling. I'll pop it on ebay with the dvd-burner in it, thats always enticing to people who dont know a lot about computers. 250$ computer + 40$ DVD burner = 400$ computer!

Good to know, I dont have any agp ports in any of my computers, nor do I have any agp cards, so its not quite a problem just yet, I was just asking to see what I should buy. Me and my friend are working on a project to build a computer for $100, cause thats the money we had when we started this...

Selling it would be included in my definition of scrapping it, and man would I love to sell this thing, any clues on how much I could get for it?

Ok, I know its stupid, I just have never done it before so Im wondering... If I put an AGP 8x card into an agp 4x port will it A) Work, but have bottlenecking issues B)Not work at all C)Undo the very fabric of space-time
