    Which Motherboard for gaming?

    There's so many different ones with all different reviews. I've been searching for one for a while, but just can't decide. Specifics would be appreciated. I don't need SLI, but I want at least 1 pci-e x16 slot. I wanna go Socket 939 also. I'm most likely not gonna overclock, at least for a...

    CPU Socket

    Nevermind, did some research and found out it is a 478. Also here is a picture of my mobo, you can see where the AGP slot is supposed to be, but isn't. They were made like that, its an MSI mobo. Do you think there is a way to put a slot on there?

    Frames per Second?

    Thanks guys, I downloaded Fraps. Its really easy to use. But I realized I was only getting 60 fps max in Call of Duty United Offensive Multiplayer; 30 fps in crowded areas. ......... Oh well, that's what I get for having a mobo with no AGP or PCI-E graphics, I have a :swear: PCI graphics card.

    Frames per Second?

    How do you find out how many FPS you are getting? I seen a screenshot of Oblivion somewhere and it had a display to show how many FPS there were.

    Which card? 7950 GX2 or X1900XTX

    Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think one 7950GX2 is cheaper than 2 X1900XTX's. One GX2 is just a little bit more than one XTX. 2 XTX's would be $800+.

    Which card? 7950 GX2 or X1900XTX

    I have to admit, it is a little overkill for today's games, but as stated, I want to future-proof this machine. If there's already games like Oblivion putting most high-end systems to shame, I can only imagine what there will be in a few years :confused:.

    Which card? 7950 GX2 or X1900XTX

    I was leaning towards the GX2. One of the major reasons being Quad SLI, that is, whenever they're gonna release the drivers for it.

    Which card? 7950 GX2 or X1900XTX

    I am thinking about getting one of these two cards and most of their benchmark results are close so I just wanted some educated opinions from you guys. BTW: I'll be playing mostly FPS games (BF2, CoD2, Quake 4, etc.) Thanks

    BF2142 & DX10

    AMD 3500+ prossesors Do you guys know if the new Battlefield 2142 will be DX10? I was watching a demo on it and the graphics are amazing. I hope that the system I'm gonna build will be enough for most upcoming games.

    AMD 3500+ prossesors

    Will a 3500+ be able to run smoothly games like BF2, CoD2, Quake 4, bla bla bla with a good graphics card and ample memory? The main reason why I ask is because I was reading on them and 512KB L2 cache isn't really that much.
