    What videocard should I go for?

    Hi, I am thinking about upgrading to XP 2500+ (Barton) from XP 1600+. My current videocard is GF3 Ti200. Main reason for upgrading is the upcoming Pro Evolution Soccer 3 release on PC, I played the demo and it was sluggish @ 1024x768, my friend has a Ti4200 and besides that almost the same...

    Power Supply to blame?

    I am running with a 2mb PCI Matrox atm because my computer refuses to boot with my MSI GeForce3 Ti200, no beep, nothing. It was okay last couple of weeks but yesterday I experienced a lot of crashes in a small timespan again like I have had before, I ran for a while with a TNT2 Ultra back than...
