It's been a while since I've researched components and such and would love to have some recommendations on which ram to purchase. This is going in a friends computer and won't be overclocked. http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80098-34...

Yesterday I saw an open box for 199 on newegg. I would be purchasing this one, an OEM, from a forum user who bought it from newegg a few days ago and doesn't want to pay restocking fees, or something like that. Is the 7800GTX much better for dual monitors than the x1800xt?

Although I am an ATI man, I found a 256mb evga 7800 gtx that is supposed to clock to KO speeds for $215. I'm in the proccess of looking to purchase it and seeing if it is a card that is recommened. What card in ATIs line would be comparable to it? Thanks again for the help. I could choose...

How does the X1900GT compare to the x1800XT? I've never went to this type of resolution before, so if it is a must to have a x1800xt or comparable card, what other options would there be? Would there be a much difference between the xl and xt at this resolution?

You just brightened my day like non other :P. Ok, thanks! If ~250 new, probably can get one for ~200 used. :) Thanks guys for all the help.

First off, thanks for all the advice, as it has been very helpful. How would a x800XT far at 1440x900 Resolution? I was planning on using 1280x1024... but a deal just popped up that is too hard to resist :D. Although I would rather not do this, I could increase my price range to around $200...

How much of a difference is there between the x800xt and x850xt performance wise? I've read that it is only a few % difference, and if so, the lower price would be a nice point. So I'm verifying with yall.

Any suggestions in the midrange on ATI? I'm looking to play at 1280x1024, Oblivion would be the most intensive game that I would be playing. I plan on purchasing an Opty 170 and 2 gigs of ram, so the video card probably will be the bottleneck. I don't often use a lot of graphics intensive games...

Thanks for the recommendation, I will be using PCI-E. I didn't know that ATI doesn't have strong cards to compete with Nvidia's midrange.

I'm out of the loop on current video card techonology. Plus, add in all the regulars, the x's, the xt's, the xtx's, the whatever else I may be forgetting, I am quite lost. So please help me out :D. I am looking to spend around 100-150 on a used video card that will give me the biggest bang...
