Any more ideas?

I dont run dozens all at once, but I sometimes run several. I have 16GB registered ecc memory in it now. As for the board, well its the one HP sends in it. It has 6 SATA drives. I think it does RAID 0/1/5. I have a 500GB drive in it now with everything on it. I was hoping to split my OS...

I have an HP XW6600 for my work. I use it for running dozens of different Virtual Machines. Anyway, my problem is hard drives. It only came with 1 500GB SATA spindle in it. I opened and found that it only has 1 available HD storage bay and 1 available CDROM bay that I can convert to HD. So...

Trust me, I know what you are saying and thats not what I had in mind. I bought the card and was hoping I would see more gain in performance, just enough to delay a new system build, but I have known for a while that I would need to build a new rig soon. I bought the card in hopes it would...

I know some people doubt it, but there are things that hugh FPS will do for you. For example, in some of the COD series, there are spots that you can jump to or get to ONLY if you have a certain lever of FPS. I know it does not make technical sense, but it is very well known in the COD...

I don't know offhand, but I know the processor/ram is much newer than mine.

I know what you are saying, but there are things in games that are possible with very high FPS that are not possible with lower levels. So I am ot saying this from a "what I see" perspective, but from a capabilities perspective.

OK, so I have an outdated rig, I know. I did build it a few years ago with good quality parts, but I am delaying building a new one because I don't have the time and dont want to have to spend the $$, but I am rapidly approaching a frustration level of just doing it. So here is my issue. I do...

I guess I was thinking about the 216 pipes and the lifetime warranty that EVGA has.

Thanks guys, I may even consider the 216 core, like this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...x?Item=N82E16814130400

I have narrowed my search to either the GTX260 or the ATI 4870. I am planning to stay under like 250 or so, so most likely it would be the lower of those models, but I can be flexible if there is a better suggestion. What do you guys think? Here are a couple that I thought about...

Another thing I just noticed....the ATI 4870 uses GDDR5, but with 256bit memory access whereas the Nvidia gtx260 uses GDDR3 but has the 448bit memory access. What is the better route?

Sorry, I changed the link.

Which of these do you guys think would be better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...82E16814121291&bop=And

Which of these 2 do u guys think is better: http://www.newegg.com/Product/...82E16814121290&bop=And I am also considering a GTX260, but I would want the 216 pipe version, which is much more expensive.
