According to this spreadsheet, your motherboard is more than capable: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1d9_E3h8bLp-TXr-0zTJFqqVxdCR9daIVNyMatydkpFA/edit#gid=639584818

I would take a look at the HP Elitebook's, which is HP's cream of the crop business laptops. With not a glossy surface or screen to be found, these laptops are built like a tank. If graphics performance isn't too important to you, then the Elitebook 8440p sounds like a great fit. Here's a...

Nice small case. I might need to sell my Antec P180 Mini :D

My two worst purchases were the S3 Virge, which came with an old Dell Desktop and the Geforce 8600gt. My best purchase was the Asus Radeon 4850. As soon as the card came out, I sold my Geforce 8800gt on ebay for about $150 after fees and shipping. Combined with live cashback and a 10%...

Can you cite a source? I ask this because the new video driver model in Windows Vista does not allow for this. Thanks!

I have seen video cards with three video ports. This Radeon 4870 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/...?Item=N82E16814125256) has displayport, hdmi and dvi. Does anyone know if you can use all three at the same time?

Overclock your e2180! I bet it could hit close to 3ghz without much effort.

My cd burner would make bad dvd/cd's (not passing data verification), which I fault to not properly installing chipset inf's. However once I did a clean reinstallation of Windows, the problem seems to have disappeared.

I have been able to play Crysis very comfortably at 1280x720 on high (DX9, WinXP) without any lag or stuttering during single player. Any performance boast would be icing on the cake!

AA becomes less important at higher resolutions, for obvious reasons. For instance, I can run Hellgate London at 1920x1200 with everything maxed, except for AA, which I'll have to keep below 8x. If I really wanted to max AA, I would have to drop down to 1680x1050, which is retarded, IMHO :)

I got my LG L246WP for $485 after tax at Bestbuy with a rewardzone coupon. Awesome monitor, which has a swivel base and uses the same panel as the Benq 24'.

Bought a BFG 8800GT for $226 after tax and coupon from Bestbuy! It's a sad sad day when Bestbuy has the best deal on a video card :(

i think evga will help you out in certain circumstances. i sold a extra unopened b-stock promotion 7800GTX card and the buyer was able to RMA the card. however i did sell it within 30 days of getting the card.

I'm pretty sure it will work. I saw a posting on the Zalman VF700, which is what I have and the guy said that the 8800gt has the same mounting holes as the Geforce 7 series.

What this guy said!
