For $100cad/$90usd/£47, would you do it ?

I know I would !

The 7600gs has 12 pixel pipelines and a 128 bit memory bus while the x850xt has 16 pixel pipelines and a 256 bit memory bus, not to mention the clock/memory speed which is higher on the x850xt (520/540 vs. 400/400)

No he said the exact opposite: Core 2 Duo > AMD X2 There are other good mobos out there which are cheaper, but since you're going the sli route, your options become severly limited I'm affraid. Those P5NSLIs, whichever ones you get, are pretty much the only options out there.

You really believe a Duron 1.3 + GeForce MX can run these games ? Alien vs. Predator 2 and Medal of Honor: Allied Assault can run on your system I believe.

Cool, I love spending other people's money :D , not on Dells however. ...DON'T BUY A DELL, PLEASE. Alright CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6400 2.13GHz LGA 775 Processor - Retail at Newegg.com MOBO: ASUS P5B ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail at Newegg.com RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 2GB (2 x 1GB)...

I'm not sure when the r600 comes out (some say late 06, others early 07), and when it does, availability will be the issue, as it always is. But if you're on a budget, I suggest you hold on for a bit. If you can afford to buy a new video card and ditch it in less than 6 months, then go for it ...

If your pc does everything you want to do, then I think you should keep it. For more RAM you can look on ebay, the prices will likely be more affordable. Also, you can consider putting a PIII in it. eBay: Pentium 3 733MHz Socket 370 Coppermine Used (item 120024944228 end time Sep-01-06...

CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 1.86GHz LGA 775 Processor - Retail at Newegg.com I suggest you get this instead. (The core is actually Allendale, not Conroe, regardless of what newegg says) Case: Antec.com - Performance TX This should do the trick, specs are in the link. It comes with an Antec 500W...

If that's what you've been told, then it must be true.

The idea here is to narrow it down to the culprit. That way, you know that no matter what they say/do, you're right and there's just no going around it.

I suggest uninstalling the codecs you have installed and reinstalling them (just the ones you need) and see if it makes any difference. Also try different players to see if there's any change. VLC media player for Windows

Between the E6400 and the E6600, the only difference aside from the clock is the E6600 has 4mb of cache instead of 2mb for the E6400 (and E6300, the one I suggested). Personally, if I had the money I'd probably get an E6600 because of the extra cache, but I wouldn't mind getting a 2mb one...

Both actually, but you cannot repartition a drive using those. Say you got a 70 gb partition, you would have to delete it and then make 2x35gb partitions, losing your files in the process. Partition Magic can repartition "on the fly", but I'm more comfortable with low-level partitioning. I'm...

Driver issues could cause performance loss. What's your driver version ? Newer drivers support newer cards better so I think you should stick to 4.x drivers. I used to get around 9600 points with my 9600 Pro actually. (I checked the 3dmark01 thread...

Partitioning the drive is definitely the first step in securing your files, however, it's not fool proof as I've lost files which were on partitions which I never touched while reinstalling windows, just a few days ago actually. ALWAYS backup your important stuff when reinstalling Windows, is...

What I can suggest are those generic things: try every sata ports, bios update, newest sata drivers (press F6 even if Windows has drivers for your drive), check sata cable (I'm sure your board came with at least 2, maybe 4). Also, you could install Windows on your working drive with the raptor...

Could you provide us with your system specs, including brand/model and driver versions ? Alternatively, you can submit your system specs by clicking on the "My computer" link, that way you do it once and don't have to worry about it ever again. Or just give us the computer brand/model if it's an...

It surely will since the new high end card will be the x1950xtx. AnandTech: ATI's New High End and Mid Range: Radeon X1950 XTX & X1900 XT 256MB Price chart and review of some of the newest ATI cards.

I'm sure Foxconn make decent mobos, but why go that route when Asus, Abit, DFI, Gigabyte, Intel and MSI can be had ? The thing is, if you don't plan to oc and if you choose one of the above brands, the deciding factors should be: price, compatibility with your other parts, features, brand...
