I liked your arguement that it would be a shame to have all that hardware wasted by pairing it with a low end video card.

Yeah I originally thought the FX 5200 was better then the TI4200. I am now leaning towards the 9600 pro, but if I can find a deal on a 9700 pro or 9800 pro I might get that.

Ever thought of calling the airline and asking? I know that they require laptops to be powered up. My guess is that they probably wouldn't let it through security. Pack it in a shipping box for a PC not for just a case. These can be bought at a PC wholesaler. Then ship it UPS or FED-EX. It's...

What does 25 FPS mean? What would an acceptable frame rate beI don't really know how these benchmarks effect actual gameplay. What they mean.

Do you mean that most games won't even run with a Geforce FX 5200? I highly doubt that is the case. I am not a big gamer and I don't spend hours and hours playing games so I probably wont care too much about image quality. I have been thinking about this 9600 pro too ($112) How good is...

I am planning on building a PC using a 865pe chipset. I am leaning towards ABIT MB's. I'll probably get 2.8 Ghz 1MB L2 800Mhz FSB, one DIMM of 512 MB ram to start, GeForce 5200, WD 160 GB SATA, and win XP home. I am having difficulty selecting my video card. I am not a big gamer but it's...

:D I thought the MSI KM2M would allow for a 200 Mhz FSB with PC100 RAM. I could under clock a T-bred 266 FSB @ 200. Or I can try to overclock PC100 RAM. This was really just a "go cheap" scenerio. http://www.msi.com.tw/program/products/mainboard/mbd/pro_mbd_cpu_support_detail.php?UID=411 I...

I am planning on building a PC using a 865pe chipset. I am leaning towards ABIT MB's. I'll probably get 2.8 Ghz 1MB L2 800Mhz FSB, one DIMM of 512 MB ram to start, GeForce 5200, WD 160 GB SATA, and win XP home. I might get a new case/PS, speakers, KB/mouse. My questions: Will 865pe work...

The closest Fry's Electronics is in Tempe AZ. I live in Tucson AZ. It's about 120 miles. I try to stop by there when I am in Pheonix for other reasons, but I have never seen a sale like you describe. If I get an ECS K7VTA3 (or the like) what video cards would you suggest. I would prefer...

I am wanting to upgrade my computer. I am not a hard core gamer. Mostly internet and business apps. I am still using dialup and plan to get cable modem after I upgrade. I am thinking of either a Abit va-10 (Via KM400 chipset w/ S3 Unichrome integrated video) or ASRock K7S741GX(SiS 741 GX chipset...
