    Will 7800GT be enough or Should I do 7800GTX/ATI520?

    I have the 24" Dell LCD, kicks butt at 1920x1200. Just to let you all know I bit the bullet last week saw a deal I couldtn pass up through dells home electronics, snagged an XFX OC GT for $340 after coupons!!!!!! Yeah but it wont ship till the 20th :( Oh well.

    Yeah its looking like GT is the way to go, just want to wait a bit on pricing, makes no sense to spend 449 when I could spend 510 and get GTX, I want to see if GTs will drop to 400 or so before lpunging in.

    Hey all I Just upgraded to a 1920x1200 Res LCD and I am running into Framerate problems with my X800XL at full res. Seems that the 7800GTX would solve my problems or possibly the new ATI card if and when it ships. The questionI am having is whether to wait and see if the 7800GT would be able...

    Help, why did my new BIOS Limit my OC?!!!

    Yeah HTT is your FSBx some number, ie 2,3,4,5. Normally it runs at 1000MHz(2000 DDR), so witht he FX your FSB must be at 200 if its at 5X. Generally you can go out of spec up to 1100MHz withoutt o many issues, but it doesnt speed up your system all that much, in fact dropping the HTT down to...

    I flashed back to 1.1 for now, back to 2650MHz on my 3200, so I am happy and my USB is all working again. Are the 1.6 and .17s all betas???

    Help, why did my new BIOS Limit my OC?!!!

    Any idea why this would happen? Seems from what I ahve read most people tend to get better OC out of a bios update, saw some go from 219 up to 255 with this update, but mine is the reverse. Weird.

    HTPC won't start anymore help me diagnose

    Hey all took my old hardware after my 64 build and moved it to a Lascala case with a nice seasonic quiet 350W PSU. It worked fine for about a month, then I traded my old huge Ti4400 for a smaller 5700LE to help airflow and since then I had stability issues where it would run fine for 15...
