Ok... thanks a lot for all of your help. I purchased the Leadtek WinFast PX6600GT 128MB pci-e card. Now I have another problem - it won't fit in the case :( I assumed (I know - never assume) that if it is a pci-e motherboard and a pci-e video card that everything would work... but it...

Thanks for the help everyone. Its seems pretty clear that the 6600GT is the way to go. I posted in the "general hardware" forum about a sound card, but not one response. Since you guys are so helpful, maybe I'll ask here. I know it is off topic, but I'd appreciate it. The case he's...

My boss just ordered a Dell computer. At my recommendation, he stuck with the integrated sound and video cards because I told him I could upgrade those components for a lot less than they were offering. The problem is, he ordered a model with a special VERY slim case so there are no PCI or...

it sure would have been helpful if I was subscribed to this thread :) Sorry, I didn't see your reply until now. I see your point about recording and timeshifting, although I still don't understand why the ATI can't handle that natively... why's it have to pass through the s/c? The only...

I just purchased an ATI 9600XT All-in-wonder, and I'm greatly dissapointed with the terrible documentation and the crappy drivers. But that aside, I'm trying to make it work (when its not crashing) I'm confused on the audio more than the video. The card has audio out connectors, but it doesn't...

I just stumbled across this forum and I thought I'd put in my 2 cents. I've had some experience dealing with the above mentioned (and those not mentioned) dealers in and around Vancouver. Here's my experience: NCIX: They are no longer a price leader. Good prices, but consistently higher than...
