It is confusing the Hz on monitors. Your game does not have to run at 120 fps to get 120hz benefits. Now if the game is running at 3 fps sure 120hz can't save that. but 40fps and up you will see and feel it. I'll list a few. 1. No need for Vsync at 120hz. At 60hz you will get image...

Bite your tongue. Quake 4 single player crushes Doom3. None of these games are going to beat games like UT2004 or Q2 in multiplayer. They are too system demanding. For fun online play you need great pings and FPS of 80 or better. Not going to happen on these new games for awhile...

Yes the SI 3114 will work in non Raid mode. I have a Abit MAX3 using SI 3114 to control my new Plextor SATA DVD dual layer Burner. So far it seems to work well. I did not enable the raid mode in the bios, just turned on the device. Windows XP Pro auto detected and installed its own...

Forget then downgrade. There are games that will be out that you don't even know about and you just might need the horsepower of the 9800 to run them smoothly. If you only have 125megs of ram well then yes you need 512. I would go to a gig.

I would get anything with a trinitron type tube. They have brighter colors and more contrast vs shadow mask tubes. LCDs still have not won me over for gaming. I love LCDs for general computing. They do not display proper grey scales and they have the ole native mode which crt does not. I...

The guy that said the 9600 pro is fluff? LOL. Take away this take away that and you have a VooDoo 5. I have one of those also. There was a time when I wanted just speed and the hell with graphics. 32 bit color was a joke and anyone who ran in 32 bit color was off my quake ctf team :) All...

Of course the 9600 pro is better but I think you can get the 4200 for less. I had a 4200. Great open gl quaking card was super in its day. But what would I use for Far Cry? or any dx9 game? 9600Pro hands down no argument.

PCI is not that much slower than AGP. Once the code gets loaded into the card its all fast. It will be much faster than any built in video with shared memory. Choices ATI 7500, Nvidia GF4 MX. I don't know which of those is fastest but both are probably much better than what you have in it now.

If a companys top card is the winner or is the fastest then it does help all of the other products. If it did not matter they would not try so hard. If the top pro uses wilson racquets it helps them sell ALL racquets not just the top one.
