I tried searching for reviews or topics in which both cards were in the same review. Thing is I currently own a 1900 XT and my friend just bought a 4870 and wants to sell me his 8800 GT. What is a good price to pay for the 8800 GT & how much better is the 8800 GT? He owned the card for about 1...
When i power on my pc, my video card turns on @ full speed and then slows down. When it goes on full load @ boot my cpu fan and case fans light on but do not start spinning till the x1900xt slows down (about 1-2 secs long). Any idea what is causing that?

I ordered one from buy.com and jumped the gun on the ZZF for $379 & Overnight shipping. I might keep the buy.com and sell it for the price i spent on the ZZF e6600
I just cancelled my $373 OEM E6600 from Tiger and ordered the retail for $339 from buy.com (those prices include the S&H)
I'll wait an extra week or 2 for $40, 9 more months of warranty, and a fan.
actually 2 more years ...

On this system i won't be doing any overclocking... I not sure which way to go w/my MB. I have 2 74 gb raptors...
i ordered @ like 3:03 est....
so if you ordered earlier then I say your ahead of me and should also be receiving it around the same time depending your order time.
just ordered a e6600 for 359.99 from tigerdirect ...spoke w/Felix and he said they are receiving shipment tomorrow and my order was included in that. He said I should receive it on August 1st.
i really did consider it ....but everything seems real expensive right now. m/b's are pricey and out of stock .... cpu will probably be tough as hell to get also for the next fear months
ok now I've REALLY made up my mind this is what I've put together ...

I've been so indecisive about what to do with my current rig since my VC went out. I've decided to get a new MB w/PCI-e, X1900XT, update my ram since I sold mine.
Ok does anyone have a suggestions for a MB for a socket 754?
Also with my specs what RAM do you recommend? Looking for 2GB...
Well i just want the best bang for your buck. It seems the X1900XT is best for me @ $355.xx @newegg. I was looking into the 7950GX2 and was soo close to ordering it. But many seem to dislike the card. Everyone seems to agree that the x1900XT has the best image quality
My system's are strictly for gaming purposes only. I don't know if upgrading my full system is needed yet. My 3400+ is still performing like a champ. But the e6700 does look quite intriguing. Though I've never built a Intel based rig.
Man I really don't know what to do. Are their better motherboards that support pci-e than what i currently got? If i kept all my system bought a new MB w/pci-e and got a X1900XT/7950GX2. Or build a new rig w/a Core 2 Duo e6700. Would it really be a that huge increase in overall performance? And...
