i don't OC, i do use it for school and some photoshop editing. i'd definitely like to keep it under $250, preferably under $200 if possible

yeah, it's socket 478...thats my problem with christmas coming up i was hoping i could i stretch my luck and switch over to AMD b/c from everything i've heard and read it's better for gaming. what is the best place to get an AMD processor and what is the lowest specs that i should go?

I'm looking to switch to an AMD processor b/c i want to get the PCI-Express 16 graphics card (BFG or eVGA 7800GT) and none of the Intel Mobos have that hookup. i've never used anything but an Intel so i dont really know much about the AMD processors. so i'm going to the experts to get some...

looking into getting the BFG 7800GT (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814143042) and was looking for motherboard suggestions. it has to be intel b/c i dont want to have to buy a new processor. new egg has the evga 7800gt and the mobo combo deal going on right now, but...

i've seen that a lot of people have either the OCZ or the Corsair, which is better?

i ran the windows task manager and my memory peaked at 1,346,000, well over the 1,000,000 that was mentioned earlier on this topic. with christmas coming up now would be a great time to add another gig of memory because that's what it looks like i should do. any suggestions for quality...

I've had some issues running Battlefield 2, it's been running real choppy for me lately. I've been looking around and seeing that a lot of people have 2 GB of RAM to play BF2 and wondering if that was a necessity. I'm running 1 GB of Ultra RAM right now, and am wondering if that is the...

my buddy has been playing BF2 on my computer (6800gt - 1GB RAM - 3.2 GHZ P4) and naturally has fallen in love with the game. He wants to get his own copy of the game but is wondering how well it will run on his computer. I didn't want to tell him to get the game and have it run crappy without...

yeah i'm planning on using it for BF2 - although i was considering GTA: San Andreas. conveniently for best buy they still have HL2 priced at 54.99

just looked at best buy online, they now have the BFG 6800GT for $379.99 plus another $40 off on a mail in rebate. ALSO - if you order online, you get a free game (up to $49.99) to go with it.

just looked at the new best buy ad for the week, and yup, the BFG 6800GT is on sale - for $339.99 after rebates. so the BFG isn't worth spending an extra $100 for, but is it worth spending an extra $40 for the lifetime warranty and the OC?

from what i've been reading the BFG looks like the better card (the majority of people leaned that way anyways), but the lowest price i've found for the BFG 6800GT OC is still $100 more than the eVGA version of the 6800GT. i've found the eVGA version for under $300 at circuit city...

thanks

one more noob question, this PSU only has a fan on the top (the one i have now has one on the back) - do you have the fan face the top of the case or do you have it facing the heatsink?

the dual 12V rails is good for graphics cards, and other hardware isn't it?
