    I need a new Video Card!

    Thanks again, everybody. Since I can neither wait for prices to drop (cuz my card is freezing and hanging up after just 10 minutes of Civ IV and CoD2 and so it just plain doesn't work) nor afford a new mobo (I shelled out a little extra for a good one, not knowing AGP was about to RIP), and...

    I need a new Video Card!

    Ok, so I'm gonna replace my Saphire-Radeon 9600XT (AGP) cuz I've been running it without a fan for a while and I think it's about shot. I missed the deal on the X850XT, and everyone's had great things to say about EVGA, so I'm looking at the 6800GS 256MB. The only problem is, their "core...

    PSU and Case causing problems?

    Hey all, I built a PC in August, and after reading pretty extensively the posts in this section, it seems that either my case or my PSU might be causing me problems. Before asking about them, here's my system: P4 2.8Ghz, 800 FSB Prescott Abit IS7-E 1 Gig Kingston RAM, DDR 80 GB...

    Is an expensive PSU all that - or is it some crap everyone bought onto?

    My Chiefmax 450w lasted almost two months before burning out and nearly taking my entire system with it. The case it came with has also been a MAJOR source of headaches.. Use with care. J.
