    4850 vs 9800GT (passive both)

    Perhaps, but I could not find any passively cooled. And besides, it's nice to have to power when I do game.

    4850 vs 9800GT (passive both)

    4850 vs 9800GT (passive both)

    I need to upgrade my graphics-card and I've been thinking about going silent since the GPU-fan is (in my experience) the loudest one (at least after a year or two). I know that there are 3rd party solutions but I want something that works right out of the box. I don't game much, I'm mostly using...

    In general, which is the best configuration for 2GB DDR2 ram? To use two 1GB sticks or use four 512MB sticks.

    Upgrade now or later

    Hi all, My current computer is quite exactly 4 years old now and I'm starting to thing about getting a new one, mostly to be able to run Vista and play Neverwinter Nights 2 when it's released. However I'm not sure that now is a good time to upgrade or not, I remember buying a mid-range P3...
