    x1950xt vs 3850

    No I just checked and they don't even have 8800gt's up yet, let alone the 3K series.

    What video card for Vostro 400 Mini Tower??

    I would be really surprised if you could change out the PSU even if you wanted to. The Dells a notoriously hard to upgrade, I would probably go with the 8500 because dont the 86's need a 400w PSU to run? I would definitely check first,

    When is the new 8800GTS launch?

    I know, I wish my wife was as into as yours seems to be.

    Nvidia feels small compared to Intel/AMD

    I think it will be a sad day for all of us if this were to really happen. I know I will be crossing my fingers and toes that there will be PC games out there that will be good enough for them to keep making cards epople will need. Maybe this will now be a 3 horse race once Intel enters in.

    Suggestion for a new video card

    What wattage PSU do you have? You may have to upgrade it when you decide what video card you get.

    $300 Computer Build

    I would say just need to get a SATA HDD and you would be all set. I am leary of PSU's that come with cases if I don't recognize the brand, but that would be my only points of concern. Nice build though,

    Everything on monitor is stretched

    Did you try reinstalling the video drivers as well? Also check the settings of the monitor to see if you need to readjust the width it is displaying to get everything back on the sreen. Hope this helps,

    Upgrade Question

    I was thinking about an 8600gt/gts, I am coming from a 7800gt and figure now is good time to upgrade. Worth it going from the 78 to the 86 or should I wait a little longer and get an 8800. I guess if I do save it might be in time for some of the newer cards to come out but thought I would see...

    On the Fence...need some advice

    Depending on how long you want to wait, I keep reading that the next gen DX10 is supposed to be a bit better, so waiting might be prudent if you can wait. If not then yeah I would probably just get the 640mb GTS, unless you can afford an Ultra which is so close to a GTX in price its actually...

    Graphics card insufficient power

    You may want to check your PSU, as the 5900 series had only 1 molex connector in the back of the card.

    Cleaning a LCD glossy monitor

    I have found that using a babywipe (if you have kids) is the best. I thoroughly rinse it of the solution they have them in and ring as much of the water as I can and then just wipe down and dry with a dish cloth. The wipes are lint free so it gets the job done.

    Motherboard with Build in Video come with DVI output?

    Yes, there are some ASUS AM2 boards based on the AMD or Nvidia chipsets that have them. like the M2A-VM

    Upgrade Question

    Was wondering which way to go between the C2Q6600 after the price drop or save up a little more for the 8800 640mb. I'm leaning VC but it would be really cool to have a quad core. It would be replacing my C2D 6700 that I am using now,

    Need advice for a budget system...

    What kind of budget are you on and what parts do you need to pick up? I would say that even though intel is better if you are getting the budget cpu's ( 4XXX series) then I would go AMD since you can get a better $100 to $120 CPU from them then the intels, and usually the MB's are cheaper.
