Thanks for the feedback. That's kind of what I was thinking, I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything.

I understand that the synapse provides automatic caching for a large hdd significantly increasing the speed. I see the value for existing systems wanting a boost. My question is since I'm building a new system and will place my most most used programs/ OS on a vertex 3 would I truly see any...

Thanks for the input so far. My wife will be handling a lot of large RAW files so she will be stressing the storage system a little more than the average user. Ill stay away from the the 6gb drives and focus on the cache size a bit more. any recommendations on a drive around 150 or under the...

I'm buildinga computer for my wife to use lightroom and photoshop. I5 2500k Asus P8Z68 M PRO 8gb1333mhz ram (corsair) Radeon 6570 video vertex 3 60gb for os programs and scratch heres my question. for the storage drive is it more important to get a hdd with a larger cache or 6gb/s? im...

Hello I have a latitude e6400 in my sig.I know the Quadro is not meant for gaming but I primarily use my 360 for that. However I would like to play some MS Flight Simulator if possible. Obviously maxed graphics are out of the question but is it still playable? I also heard something about using...

I think i am going to sell my desktop (in sig) what would be a fair starting price for it? if i were to sell it to a co-worker.

I appreciate all the compliments. About my overclocking I was afraid that my temp was a little high. SHould I still be able to OC my video card? or are the temps to high for that as well. Can anyone post a few links to some guides to do that? THanks again for the compliments and for the help

I'm fixing to attempt my first over clocking on a Athlon XP system. Ill post some specific specs. I've read the overclocking thread but I was wondering if I could get some info for my specific system. For example I cant use Nvidias ntune softwware due to my non nforce motherboard. Basicall If...

I am very happy with dell. I have the 8600 in my sig and my fiancee has a 600m and we are both very happy. My CPU fan went out about 8months after i got it but Dell next day aired me a box i sent it in and had it back within 4 days (plus they gave me new rubber feet for the bottom:) The only...

I want to upgrade my agp card to be able to play the likes of BF2 on medium settings I might be able to get an x800se for $100. Is that a good price? or should i just get a 9800 pro off of ebay for around $75? is the x800 far superior to the 9800 pro? Any input is appreciated.

The cooling fan on my visiontek Ti 4200 made about one revolution stuttered and then stopped and will not turn anymore. I pushed it a few times to see if i could jump start it but only one time did it try and spin another revo. Obviously this seems to be a mechanical problem. Any suggestions on...

You have all been very helpful and I thank you all. One other quick Q (because my other post isnt generating much input) can I hook my xbox up through this card (s-video) with the stock nvidia drivers? thanx

wow so is my radeon 9000 better than the ti 4200? or just the pixel shader?

Ok so I just discovered that I have a TI 4200 should that be capable of handling my xbox through the vid card with the stock drivers?
