    Upgrade to 8800gts?

    The downside to upgrading to a 22" widescreen monitor is the extra load it puts on my GPU. I am currently running: AMD 4000, 2G RAM, 7800 GTX. I know that my processor might be a bottleneck if I upgrade to the 8800gts, but the games that are slow seem to do much better in lower resolution...

    Problems fitting EVGA 7800GTX with DFI LP UT SLI-DR

    I am trying to install a EVGA 7800GTX into the DFI board (just one for now). The graphics card contacts the cover on the chipset fan. In fact the profile of the card goes right over the chipset fan. Is it ok like this? Is this card incompatible or am I doing something wrong. Thanks for...

    This EVGA ok?

    I don't now how many versions of the 7800GTX are floating around. The only difference I can tell is extras bundled in and the memory and GPU have higher clock speeds. As far as I can tell, this one is clocked a little higher than the reference 7800GTX, but is otherwise the same...

    Last motherboard post

    I have been having a tough time choosing a motherboard. I'm not building an SLI rig right away, but definately would like to have that option open to me for future upgrades. I've never tried overclocking, but I would like to learn more in the future and have options open to me. I am building...

    Please recommend a case for me.

    My budget is about $100 -125US. It doesn't have to be aluminum. Roomy with good cooling. I have looked at cases like: Cooler Master Cavalier, Thermaltake Tsunami, Thermaltake VA30000, Cooler Master Pretorian. I'm open to suggestions. My current case is an Antec 1080 Performance Plus. I...

    Board reccomendation please.

    I have heard this is pretty much the best board out for Nf4 S939 right now. Is this true or should I consider something else? Also, am I correct in understanding that although this is not an SLI board, I could potentially upgrade to SLI in the future...

    Case help please

    I'm building my first real rig. I want to keep it for awhile. I was interested in the Thermaltake Armor because I have heard it is a good case and I like the idea that it is BTX compatible. It seems to be more future proof than most cases. Before I was looking at cheaper cases like the...

    Alternative to Thermaltake Armor?

    I was looking at the Thermaltake Armor and I was impressed with the fact that it was BTX compatible. It is also possible to buy a BTX compatible power supply. I liked that feature, as well as the others, since I would not have to change cases if BTX ever came to dominate computers. That...

    Which CPU...or wait?

    I am trying to decide between the AMD 3700 San Diego and the AMD 4000 San Diego. At first it was a no brainer, then prices came down a lot on the 4000. Is there any reason other than price to go with the 3700. I have never tried overclocking, but would like to keep that option open. Also, I...

    Should I wait for the Fudo?

    I am building my first real gaming rig. It has been on hold because I am waiting fot the release of the Fudo. I have nothing against nV cards and no real experience with them (not counting an FX5200). The reason I am waiting is because I am often told that ATI has better AA and higher AA...

    Video card pricing and availability

    I have been watching video card pricing for awhile. High end cards continue to sell well above MSRP. PCI-e cards are even worse. When I bought my last gen card it was under MSRP. What's the deal. How long are things expected to be this way?

    Hard Drive Advice

    I am looking for a hard drive for a dedicated gaming rig. I don't really care much about load times or anything fancy. I am only interested in features that contribute to in-game performance. There are some expensive hard drives out there but I'm not sure if the features really improve fps...

    Looking for AMD PCI-e board

    What is a good choice (now or near furture) for an AMD NForce4 board. I am NOT interested in SLI. I am not an overclocker, but would like to have the option of a modest overclock. I will probably go with a AMD 3500 CPU. Mostly I'm just looking for a good stable board. I'm not in a hurry...

    upgrade advice please

    I am looking at upgrade options and am trying to decide. My goal is to get better performance in the current games I play ( IL2, Lock-On) as well as other future flight simulators, which is mostly what I play. I won't be upgrading for a few more months. My current system: Dell Dimension...
