    graphics card pci-e advice

    "Destroyed" certainly might be too strong....depending on the resolutions you play at, and what games you play. From all benchmarks I've seen, an x1950 Pro performs roughly 10% better across the board, compared to an 8600GT... However, as resolutions scale and you add AA and AF options, the...

    Theres finally time, I can read all I want... - OSX86

    Go linux if you can't stand Windows... Thought that really depends on who you are and how much experience you have with either. I bought a used iBook a couple of years ago just to get familiar with OSX....It lasted for about 3 weeks and I installed Yellow Dog Linux on it. I then reinstalled...

    C2D price cuts, yet again, Sep 2nd ?

    Certainly is doing wonderful things for CPU prices... I'm more interested in innovation though myself.

    Picture quality?

    Depends on your use really... If you are a graphic artist sure, though in my personal opinion, I prefer NEC's professional line better than Samsung's for imaging work. If you are going in for gaming, then sure, you might be able to tell the difference. This is really a subjective thing...

    My X1900XT doesn't seem to want to go out of 2D Speeds

    I also had a problem running Omega Drivers with my x1900XT. Last I checked, they still did not have ATITool working properly with the x1900 series....of course this was several months ago that I checked. Again, however, I did encounter the same problem as you, inability to set clocks, and...

    URGENT HELP NEEDED: Can someone please provide me a performance chart comparing

    Well, the only help I can be is provide these two links, again, not a direct comparison. Essentailly, the closest competitor in Anandtech's review is a 7900GS, using the second link you can compare a 7900GS to a 7800 GTX (256 or 512) Anandtech 8600GT Followup...
