    3 video card options - Poll!

    first off it depends on if you use agp or pci-e. if you game alot id definitely go with the 6800gt with the prices as low as they are- i wouldnt pay more than 300 for one new or 250 for one used. you can wait for the 7800gt which should start at around 350-400 im guessing and will be a little...

    I got my BFG 7800GTX today.

    im interested there are lots of reviews but i always like to hear from a non-reviewer especially when they run the same resolution as me cuz most reviews dont have 1680x1050 marks

    6800GT question

    you might want to wait a little while because the price drop unless your on agp, if your on agp id just go for the cheapest its not going to make that much of a difference. if you have the extra to spend bfg is always my favorite company along with leadtek. if your on pci-e i wouldn't go with...

    Dell 2405FPW Monitor

    i doubt a 6800gt can handle that resolution for gaming, thats the only thing holding me back. my 6800gt at ultra speeds still struggles on my 2005fpw which has a much lower resolution

    Can LCD monitors suffer from "burn in"?

    LCDs dont burn in i have been led to believe. im not sure what your noticeing i've never noticed this on my 2005fpw edit, actually a quick google search turned this up: http://www.dslwebserver.com/main/fr_index.html?/main/lcd-screen-burn.html the burn in is not permanent, just read the article

    ball point mouse vs optical mouse

    ball mice get stuck, have moving parts you need to clean, are not very accurate, and break. i love optical mice, ive owned tons and never had any problems i sometimes dont even use a mousepad, currently im just using a sheet of paper that i take notes on as a mouse pad and it works fine

    are video cards easy to install, and what are the benfits of a better vide card???

    easy to install, jus need to be careful about cleaning out the older drivers all the way and choosing which new drivers to install can sometimes be a pain. the main benefit is an increase in 3d performance especially in games in general. it allows you to turn up resolution and quality and...

    Memory Question

    only if you overclock, pc4000 runs at 500, or 250FSB while pc3200 runs natively at 400 or 200FSB. Your processor defaults at a 200FSB so the only way you'll get a noticeable difference is overclocking. it also depends alot on the brand/ chips on your memory so you can run tighter timings. What...

    New SLI Rig

    the joys of posting in a forum :P i wouldnt go with 2x6800gts now unless you have a monitor that does a resolution greater than either 1680x1024 or 1600x1200 especially with the next generation of cards around the corner. if you plan on overclocking i'd get the DFI nF4 board, and to save get the...

    6800 GT vs the 6800 Ultra

    ultras cannot easily reach ultra extreme which is 475 easy at all, ive owned 3 and only 1 could reach ultra extreme, one was a bad ocer, and one was a medium oc'r. but every GT ive owned has reached ultra speeds so your luck is better at grabbing a GT that overclocks good than a ultra and save...

    6800 GT vs the 6800 Ultra

    a ultra is not worth 100 more than the GT in my opinion ive owned both and im back on a GT- personally i got just as high clocks on my GT as my ultra overclocking like around 440/1.16
