How does an X800 compare to a X800GTO? Are there any benchmark comparisonsbetween these two? Is the X800 able to play games to a high resolution? Thanks

Thanks Stretchman. No this one has no silencer on it. I've also found another X800Gto which seems to be quite good. Any ideas on the Gecube?

Well, here in the UK the cheapest GTO is £115(~$200) which is my budget. Originally my budget was £100 (~$175). The cheapest GTO2 is about £150 (~$265).

Thanks mwmorph but it's just the plain GTO not the GTO2. That would be out of my budget unfortunately (after spending on all the other parts!)

Here are some PCI-E cards I've been looking at and was hoping I could get some answers as to the best out these three for performance but stability and possibly overclocking although not the priority at the moment. Sapphire X800GTO 256mb GDDR3 Connect 3D X800GTO 256MB GDDR3 PowerColor...

I live in the UK so prices here are probably not as good as in the US. For example the cheapest retail pack Venice 3000 CPU would cost £100 (~$176). OEM would be around £85 (~$150). Thus I thought it made more sense to get the Winchester as the slight extra speed would not be so much beneficial...

Thanks for the advice guys. I was planning on upgrading my current system and to be honest I'm on a very tight budget but trying to get the most from it. My current specs are: AMD Athlon 900mhz (upgraded a few months ago from 700Mhz!), 758mb SD RAM, Gigabyte 71XE mobo, 250w generic case...

Well, My current system is nearing the end of it's life and after upgrades after upgrades I was thinking it would be better to just build a new system. I have already started and have gotten myself the Coolermaster Cavalier 3 case with Window and an Enermax EG465AX-VE and some Sharkoon rounded...

Thanks for the suggestion Ronnie but having checked the price out they are almost twice as much as the Geils. The Geils are £67 (~$118) where as the Ballistix are £123 (~$217) BTW, how much would these RAM cost in the US? ---- Avalon, yes they are the Geil twin pack with blue HS...

I'm in the process of building a new PC to replace my ageing one. I am pretty sure I'll be getting an Asrock 939 mobo and Athlon63 3200 (Winchester) I had a look around for some RAM and came across Geil. Are these any good (stable and able to overclock for the future) The Geils are...

Wow! Thanks - I never knew there's a dual GPU slot. I'll have a further look and will also need to see if it is available here in the UK too. EDIT: Just read the review and it seems a fantastic board. It only costs about £45-£50 ($80-$90) here so is an absolute steal!

I am pretty set on getting an Athlon64 3000/3200 CPU. What ATX mobo would you recommend? It should be AGP preferably and have no less than 3 PCIs. I'm not really interested in overcloking at the mo, and just require a very stable machine for all round usage (from surfing to gaiming, etc) I...

Can I use the following CPU: Intel Mobile Pentium 4 - 2.66ghz (SL724) in a desktop PC? If so what motherboard should I be looking at? It seems this is a 478 PPGA (is it a socket 478?) Many thanks

I am looking to upgrade my ageing system and recently began the process. So far I have got myself an Enermax EG 465AX PSU and waiting for my Coolermaster Cavalier 3 case. I have been looking at a new CPU and now have some suggestions. Intel Pentium 4 506 2.66Mhz CPU with EMT64 AMD Athlon...
