Your best bet is to stay clear of DX10 for now - because first generation cards are always pretty slow compared to things that will come out in a year or two (when there are enough DX10 titles to actually make you WANT to buy a DX10 card.) I bought a 7600GT a while back for $105, after rebate...

Hey guys, I am planning on replacing my Dell Inspiron's 40gb hard drive with a 100gb drive, but I'm clueless as to how to do it. I have a few questions I need help with. First off, will any 2.5" drive fit, or are there only certain types that will work with certain vendors? Second, is...

I was looking at a post a few weeks back that had a geforce 4 ti 4600 with tons of extras, in the original box, etc etc etc...... it went for like $130.

that's the main thing... you know, I played it under dx8 for like 9 hours straight (right when it came out.) The next day I bought a 6800, and like OmnipotentSpleen so kindly stated, I didn't see a $250 difference. My girlfriend was really the one to point it out to me... she said "yeah, it...

nope, I have an amd 64 3000, but I'm just wondering, because the ti 4600 is a really fast dx8 card. Can anyone get me the physical specs for both cards?

Hey guys, I have been researching this one for a while. I just bought a Geforce 6800, and I'm kinda disappointed. My ti 4600 ran half-life 2 at about the same speed, just with less features and dx9 support. I really didn't notice $278 worth of difference though. So I'm here to ask a...

I need some help understanding the core issues in this snippet from Anandtech's review of socket 754 motherboards. I don't know what these following bolded things mean. I guess I could outline each question, but I'll see if someone can give me a good answer with out it. The thing I understand...

Ahhh, I see. So if my ram wants to do a read or write request, the CAS latency is how long it takes the RAM (or is it the RAM controller) to find the correct column? Why is the column important but not the row? I never see anyone mention RAS timings.... oh, and I meant to put 2ns, not 2ms :P

I have begun to be my own question answerer.... CAS stands for Column Address Select and RAS stands for Row Address Select. Let me think back to beginning calculus when we studied matrices. If I have 1 stick of 512mb of ram, how is the ram itself organized into a matrix, then called upon for...

I don't think anyone answered what CAS stands for. So let me see if I have this correct, a setting like 2-2-3-2 would mean what? -------------------- Things in bold are the specifcs that I'd like answered -------------------- That it takes 2 milliseconds? for something to travel from point...

really? strange... maybe I didn't search the right terms because I didn't find anything.. lemme try again

Dear learned reader, Of all the parts of the computer, I understand RAM the least. Lately I have been hearing so much more about CAS timing, these 2-3-1-2 things that I do not understand ONE bit, I don't know what CAS stands for, or RAS for that matter. I would a more technical approach, not...

what does "even at the 200 setting" mean? I'm not sure how memory achieves its speed... Does it use a multiplier like cpus do?
